The extended homogeneous balance method and its applications for a class of nonlinear evolution equations (Q2468225)

The extended homogeneous balance method with the aid of Maple is proposed for seeking travelling wave solutions for a class of nonlinear evolution equations. The homogeneous balance method is applied to solve the Riccati equation and the reduced nonlinear evolution equations. Many new exact travelling wave solutions are successfully obtained. The method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations like the generalized Zakharov equation and the Boussinesq equation.
