Jacobi elliptic function solutions of nonlinear wave equations via the new sinh-Gordon equation expansion method

In this paper, based on the well-known sinh-Gordon equation, a new sinh-Gordon equation expansion method is developed. This method transforms the problem of solving nonlinear partial differential equations into the problem of solving the corresponding systems of algebraic equations. With the aid of symbolic computation, the procedure can be carried out by computer. Many nonlinear wave equations in mathematical physics are chosen to illustrate the method such as the KdV-mKdV equation, (2+1)-dimensional coupled Davey–Stewartson equation, the new integrable Davey–Stewartson-type equation, the modified Boussinesq equation, (2+1)-dimensional mKP equation and (2+1)-dimensional generalized KdV equation. As a consequence, many new doubly-periodic (Jacobian elliptic function) solutions are obtained. When the modulus m → 1 or 0, the corresponding solitary wave solutions and singly-periodic solutions are also found. This approach can also be applied to solve other nonlinear differential equations.
