Symbolic computation of solutions for three generalized nonlinear partial differential eQuations by using the tanh method
Three nonlinear partial differential equations, namely, the standard KdV equation, the Boussinesq equation and the generalized fifthorder KdV equation are considered here from of point the view of construct exact solutions for them. The equations that we consider here are in its most general form. New exact solutions which include periodic and soliton solutions are formally derived by using the tanh method. The programming language Matematica is used
Symbolic computation of exact solutions expressible in hyperbolic and elliptic functions for nonlinear PDEs
Algorithms are presented for the tanh- and sech-methods, which lead to
closed-form solutions of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations
(ODEs and PDEs). New algorithms are given to find exact polynomial solutions of
ODEs and PDEs in terms of Jacobi's elliptic functions.
For systems with parameters, the algorithms determine the conditions on the
parameters so that the differential equations admit polynomial solutions in
tanh, sech, combinations thereof, Jacobi's sn or cn functions. Examples
illustrate key steps of the algorithms.
The new algorithms are implemented in Mathematica. The package
DDESpecialSolutions.m can be used to automatically compute new special
solutions of nonlinear PDEs. Use of the package, implementation issues, scope,
limitations, and future extensions of the software are addressed.
A survey is given of related algorithms and symbolic software to compute
exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations.Comment: 39 pages. Software available from Willy Hereman's home page at

Symbolic computation of hyperbolic tangent solutions for nonlinear differential-difference equations
A new algorithm is presented to find exact traveling wave solutions of
differential-difference equations in terms of tanh functions. For systems with
parameters, the algorithm determines the conditions on the parameters so that
the equations might admit polynomial solutions in tanh.
Examples illustrate the key steps of the algorithm. Parallels are drawn
through discussion and example to the tanh-method for partial differential
equations.
The new algorithm is implemented in Mathematica. The package
DDESpecialSolutions.m can be used to automatically compute traveling wave
solutions of nonlinear polynomial differential-difference equations. Use of the
package, implementation issues, scope, and limitations of the software are
addressed.Comment: 19 pages submitted to Computer Physics Communications. The software

Meromorphic solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations
Exact solutions of some popular nonlinear ordinary differential equations are
analyzed taking their Laurent series into account. Using the Laurent series for
solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations we discuss the nature of
many methods for finding exact solutions. We show that most of these methods
are conceptually identical to one another and they allow us to have only the
same solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations
Seven common errors in finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations
We analyze the common errors of the recent papers in which the solitary wave
solutions of nonlinear differential equations are presented. Seven common
errors are formulated and classified. These errors are illustrated by using
multiple examples of the common errors from the recent publications. We show
that many popular methods in finding of the exact solutions are equivalent each
other. We demonstrate that some authors look for the solitary wave solutions of
nonlinear ordinary differential equations and do not take into account the well
- known general solutions of these equations. We illustrate several cases when
authors present some functions for describing solutions but do not use
arbitrary constants. As this fact takes place the redundant solutions of
differential equations are found. A few examples of incorrect solutions by some
authors are presented. Several other errors in finding the exact solutions of
nonlinear differential equations are also discussed.Comment: 42 page
Symbolic algorithms for the Painlevé test, special solutions, and recursion operators for nonlinear PDEs
This paper discusses the algorithms and implementations of three MATHEMATICA packages for the study of integrability and the computation of closed-form solutions of nonlinear polynomial PDEs. The first package, PainleveTest.m, symbolically performs the Painlevé integrability test. The second package, PDESpecialSolutions.m, computes exact solutions expressible in hyperbolic or elliptic functions. The third package, PDERecursionOperator.m, generates and tests recursion operators
