New exact special solutions with solitary patterns for Boussinesq-like \(B(m,n)\) equations with fully nonlinear dispersion (Q2489466)

The Boussinesq-like equations with fully nonlinear dispersion, \(B(m,n)\) equations \[ u_{tt}+(u^m)_{xx}-(u^n)_{xxxx}=0\tag{*} \] are considered. A new method different from the Adomian decomposition method to seek explicit and exact special solutions with solitary patterns for (*) are presented. In Section 2 the scheme of new ``extend sinh-cosh'' method to obtain multiple exact solutions for the nonlinear equation \(P(u,u_x,u_t,u_{xx},\dotsc) =0\) is given. In Section 3 two special cases, \(B(2,2)\) and \(B(3,3)\) are chosen to illustrate the concrete scheme of the general method. In particular, for \(B(2,2)\) new solution of the form \(u(x,t)=-2\omega^2/(3k^2)+a\exp\left(1/2(x+t\omega/k+ \xi_0)\right)\) and for \(B(3,3)\) the known solution obtained in [\textit{Y. Zhu}, Chaos Solitons Fractals 22, No. 1, 213--220 (2004; Zbl 1062.35125)] are derived. In Section 4 a general formula for exact solutions of the \(B(n,n)\) equations, where \(n\) is a real number such that \(n\not=\pm1, n\not=0\) is established. For \(n<1\), (\(n\not=0,-1\)) the solitary wave solutions and the singular travelling wave solutions are obtained.
