Analytic investigation of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Schwarzian Korteweg–de Vries equation for traveling wave solutions

Abstract

By means of the two distinct methods, the Exp-function method and the extended (G0/G)-expansion method, we successfully performed an analytic study on the (2 + 1)-dimensional Schwarzian Korteweg–de Vries equation. We exhibited its further closed form traveling wave solutions which reduce to solitary and periodic waves. New rational solutions are also revealed.
