Abstract
We use the bifurcation method of dynamical systems to study the periodic wave solutions and their limit forms for the KdV-like equation , and PC-like equation , respectively. Via some special phase orbits, we obtain some new explicit periodic wave solutions which are called trigonometric function periodic wave solutions because they are expressed in terms of trigonometric functions. We also show that the trigonometric function periodic wave solutions can be obtained from the limits of elliptic function periodic wave solutions. It is very interesting that the two equations have similar periodic wave solutions. Our work extend previous some results.
1. Introduction
Many authors have investigated the KdV-like equation and the PC-like equation For example, Dey [1, 2] studied the exact Himiltonian density and the conservation laws, and gave two kink solutions for (1.1). Zhang et al. [3, 4] gave some solitary wave solutions and singular wave solutions for (1.1) by using two different methods. Yu [5] got an exact kink soliton for (1.1) by using homogeneous balance method. Grimshaw et al. [6] studied the large-amplitude solitons for (1.1). Fan [7, 8] gave some bell-shaped soliton solutions, kink-shaped soliton, and Jacobi periodic solutions for (1.1) by using algebraic method. Tang et al. [9] investigated solitary waves and their bifurcations for (1.1) by employing bifurcation method of dynamical systems. Peng [10] used the modified mapping method to get some solitary wave solutions composed of hyperbolic functions, periodic wave solutions composed of Jacobi elliptic functions, and singular wave solution composed of triangle functions for (1.1). Chow et al. [11] described the interaction between a soliton and a breather for (1.1) by using the Hirota bilinear method. Kaya and Inan [12] studied solitary wave solutions for (1.1) by using Adomian decomposition method. Yomba [13] used Fan's subequation method to construct exact traveling wave solutions composed of hyperbolic functions or Jacobi elliptic functions for (1.1).
Zhang and Ma [14] gave some explicit solitary wave solutions composed of hyperbolic functions by using solving algebraic equations for (1.2). Li and Zhang [15] used bifurcation method of dynamical system to study the bifurcation of traveling wave solutions and construct solitary wave solutions for (1.2). Kaya [16] discussed the exact and numerical solitary wave solutions by using a decomposition method for (1.2). Rafei et al. [17] gave numerical solutions by using He's method for (1.2).
Recently, many authors have presented some useful methods to deal with the problems in equations, for instance [18–30].
In this paper, we use the bifurcation method mentioned above to study the periodic wave solutions for (1.1) and (1.2). Through some special phase orbits, we obtain new expressions of periodic wave solutions which are composed of trigonometric functions sin or cos . These solutions are called trigonometric function periodic wave solutions. We also check the correctness by using the software Mathematica.
In Section 2, we will state our results for (1.1). In Section 3, we will state our results for (1.2). In Sections 4, and 5, we will give derivations for our main results. Some discussions and the orders for testing the correctness of the solutions will be given in Section 6.

From the expressions of these solutions, we get their limit forms. This completes the derivation on Proposition 2.1.5. The Derivation on Proposition 3.1

6. Discussions and Testing Orders
In this paper, Using the special closed orbits, we have obtained trigonometric function periodic wave solutions for (1.1) and (1.2), respectively. Their limit forms have been given. From these expressions, an interesting phenomena has been seen, that is, (1.1) and (1.2) have similar periodic wave solutions. Our work has extended previous results on periodic wave solutions.
Now, we point out that the trigonometric function periodic wave solutions can be obtained from the limits of the elliplic function periodic wave solution. For given real number , let where
