“…Nonlinear partial differential equations containing time variables are generally referred to as nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) which can describe the state or process changing along with times in physics, dynamics, and other nature sciences. For the past decades, a variety of methods have sprung up to obtain exact solutions of NLEEs such as the homogeneous balance method [1], the generalized auxiliary equation technique [2], the inverse scattering method [3], the homotopy perturbation method [4], the optimal Galerkinhomotopy asymptotic method [5,6], the tan ðϕ/2Þ-expansion method [7], new Kudryashov's method [8], the function expansion method [9], the standard truncated Painlevé expan-sion method [10], Hirota's bilinear method [11][12][13][14][15], He's variational principle [16,17], binary Darboux transformation [18], Lie group analysis [19,20], Bäcklund transformation method [21], and the multiple Exp-function method [22]. Based on the above methods, plenty of exact solutions including soliton solution [23], lump solution [24], interaction solution [25], and rational solution [26] have been derived.…”
