Abstract

We use the improved general mapping deformation method based on the generalized Jacobi elliptic functions expansion method to construct some of the generalized Jacobi elliptic solutions for some nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics via the generalized nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation and the classical Boussinesq equations. As a result, some new generalized Jacobi elliptic function-like solutions are obtained by using this method. This method is more powerful to find the exact solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations.

1. Introduction

The nonlinear partial differential equations play an important role to study many problems in physics and geometry. The effort in finding exact solutions to nonlinear equations is important for the understanding of most nonlinear physical phenomena. For instance, the nonlinear wave phenomena observed in fluid dynamics, plasma and optical fibers are often modeled by the bell-shaped sech solutions and the kink-shaped tanh solutions.

Many effective methods have been presented, such as inverse scattering transform method [1], Bäcklund transformation [2], Darboux transformation [3], Hirota bilinear method [4], variable separation approach [5], various tanh methods [69], homogeneous balance method [10], similarity reductions method [11, 12], -expansion method [13], the reduction mKdV equation method [14], the trifunction method [15, 16], the projective Riccati equation method [17], the Weierstrass elliptic function method [18], the Sine-Cosine method [19, 20], the Jacobi elliptic function expansion [21, 22], the complex hyperbolic function method [23], the truncated Painlevé expansion [24], the -expansion method [25], the rank analysis method [26], the ansatz method [27, 28], the exp-function expansion method [29], and the sub-ODE. method [30], Recently, Hong and Lü [31] put a good new method to obtain the exact solutions for the general variable coefficients KdV equation by using the improved general mapping deformation method based on the generalized Jacobi elliptic functions expansion method. In this paper, we use the improved general mapping deformation method based on the generalized Jacobi elliptic functions expansion method to obtain several new families of the exact solutions for some nonlinear partial differential equations such as the generalized Klein-Gordon equations and the classical Boussinesq equations which are very important in the mathematical physics.

2. Description of the Improved General Mapping Deformation Method

Suppose we have the following nonlinear PDE: where is an unknown function, is a polynomial in , and its various partial derivatives in which the highest order derivatives and nonlinear terms are involved. In the following, we give the main steps of a deformation method.

Step 1. The traveling wave variable where is a constant, permits us reducing (1) to an ODE for in the following form: where is a polynomial of and its total derivatives.

Step 2. Firstly, we assume that the solution equation (1) has the following form: where and , , and are arbitrary constants to be determined later, while satisfies the following nonlinear first-order differential equation:

Step 3. The positive integer “” can be determined by considering the homogeneous balance between the highest order partial derivative and nonlinear terms appearing in (1).

If “” is not positive integer. In order to apply this method when “N” is not positive integer (fraction or negative integer), we make the following transformations.(1)When , is a fraction in lowest term, we take the following transformation: (2)When is negative integer, we take the following transformation: and return to determine the value of again from the new equation. Therefore, we can get that the value of in (2) is positive integer.

Step 4. Substituting (4) into (3) with Condition (5), we obtain polynomial in , . Setting each coefficients of this polynomial to be zero yields a set of algebraic equations for , , and .

Step 5. In order to obtain some new rational Jacobi elliptic solutions of (5), we assume that (5) has the following solutions: where are arbitrary constants to be determined later, and the functions , , , are expressed as follows [32, 33]: where , , , and are arbitrary constants and , , and are Jacobi elliptic functions with the modulus .

Step 6. We substitute (8) and (9) into (5). Cleaning the denominator and collecting all terms with the same degree of , , and together, the left-hand side of (5) is converted into a polynomial in , , and . Setting each coefficients , , and of this polynomial to be zero, we derive a set of algebraic equations for , , , , and .

Step 7. With the help of symbolic software package as Maple or Mathematica, we solve the system of algebraic equations which is obtained in Step 4 with the system obtained in Step 6 to calculate for , , , and , , , , and .

Step 8. Substituting the results in Step 7 into (4), (8), and (9), we will construct many new exact solutions for the nonlinear partial differential Equation (1).

The generalized nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation [34] is in the following form: where , , , and are arbitrary constants. These equations play an important role in many scientific applications, such as the solid state physics, the nonlinear optics, and the quantum field theory (see [17, 18, 24]). Wazwaz [19, 35] investigated the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations and found many types of exact traveling wave solutions including compact solutions, soliton solutions, solitary pattern solutions, and periodic solutions using the tanh-function method. The traveling wave variable (2) permits us to convert equation (10) into the following ODE: Considering the homogeneous balance between the highest order derivative and the nonlinear term in (11), we get . According to Step 3, we use the following transformation: where is a new function of .

This system is considered to be one of them.

Let us now solve (31) by the proposed method. To this end, we see that the traveling wave variables , , and , permit us to convert (31) into the following ODEs: where and are the integration constants. Considering the homogeneous balance between the highest order derivative and the nonlinear terms in (32), we get and . Thus, the solutions of (32) have the following forms: where We substitute (33) along with Condition (34) into (32) and collect all terms with the same power of , . Setting each coefficient of this polynomial to be zero, we get a system of the algebraic equations for , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . Also, we substitute (8) and (9) into (34). Cleaning the denominator and collecting all terms with the same degree of , , and together, the left-hand side of (34) is converted into a polynomial in , , and . Setting each coefficients , , and of this polynomial to be zero, we derive a system of the algebraic equations for , , , , and . With the help of Maple, we solve the system of the algebraic equations for , , , , , , , , and with the system algebraic equations for , , , and to get the following results.
