Based on the general projective Riccati equations method and symbolic computation, some new exact travelling wave solutions are obtained for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation, the highorder modified Boussinesq equation and the variant Boussinesq equation. The obtained solutions contain solitary waves, singular solitary waves, periodic and rational solutions. From our results, we can not only recover the known solitary wave solutions of these equations found by existing various tanh methods and other sophisticated methods, but also obtain some new and more general travelling wave solutions.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to apply the fractional sub-equation method to research on coupled fractional variant Boussinesq equation and fractional approximate long water wave equation. Design/methodology/approach – The algorithm is implemented with the aid of fractional Ricatti equation and the symbol computational system Mathematica. Findings – New travelling wave solutions, which include generalized hyperbolic function solutions, generalized trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions, for these two equations are obtained. Originality/value – The algorithm is demonstrated to be direct and precise, and can be used for many other nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. The fractional derivatives described in this paper are in the Jumarie's modified Riemann-Liouville sense.

In this paper, the exp-function method is applied by using symbolic computation to construct a variety of new generalized solitonary solutions for the Chaffee-Infante equation with distinct physical structures. The results reveal that the exp-function method is suited for finding travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics

AbstractWe present new families of gravity–capillary solitary waves propagating on the surface of a two-dimensional deep fluid. These spatially localised travelling-wave solutions are non-symmetric in the wave propagation direction. Our computation reveals that these waves appear from a spontaneous symmetry-breaking bifurcation, and connect two branches of multi-packet symmetric solitary waves. The speed–energy bifurcation curve of asymmetric solitary waves features a zigzag behaviour with one or more turning points.

Travelling wave solutions for the generalized Boussinesq wave equation are studied by using the Weierstrass elliptic function method. As a result, some previously known solutions are recovered, and at the same time some new ones are also given, as well as integrable ones.

By using the tanh-coth method, we obtained some travelling wave solutions of two well-known nonlinear Sobolev type partial differential equations, namely, the Benney-Luke equation and the higher-order improved Boussinesq equation. We show that the tanh-coth method is a useful, reliable, and concise method to solve these types of equations.
