We establish exact solutions including periodic wave and solitary wave solutions for the integrable sixth-order Drinfeld-Sokolov-Satsuma-Hirota system. We employ this system by using a generalized (G'/G)-expansion and the generalized tanh-coth methods. These methods are developed for searching exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. It is shown that these me...

Abstract. In this work, it has been shown that the combined use of exponential operators and integral transforms provides a powerful tool to solve time fractional generalized KdV of order 2q+1 and certain fractional PDEs. It is shown that exponential operators are an effective method for solving certain fractional linear equations with non-constant coefficients. It may be concluded that the com...

In this paper, the ( / ) G G  -expansion method is extended to solve fractional differential equations in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. Based on a nonlinear fractional complex transformation, certain fractional partial differential equations can be turned into ordinary differential equations of integer order. For illustrating the validity of this method, we apply it to fi...

Recently, many nonlinear coupled evolution equations, such as the coupled Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, the coupled Boussinesq equation, and the coupled mKdV equation, appear in scientific applications [1 – 13]. The coupled evolution equations attracted a considerable research work in the literature. The aims of these works have been the determination of soliton solutions and the proof of c...

In this paper, using the Lie group analysis method, we study the invariance properties of the time fractional fifth-order KdV equation. A systematic research to derive Lie point symmetries to time fractional fifth-order KdV equation is performed. In the sense of point symmetry, all of the vector fields and the symmetry reductions of the fractional fifth-order KdV equation are obtained. At last,...
