Rational and multi-wave solutions to nonlinear evolution equations by means of the Exp-function method

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new application of the Exp-function method to carry out the integration of nonlinear evolution equations in terms of multi-wave and rational solutions. To elucidate the solution procedure, we analytically investigate the Sharma-Tasso-Olver equation and the fifth-order Korteweg de Vries equation. Unlike Hirota's method, our procedure does not require the bilinear formalism of the equations studied.
