Exact and explicit solutions to nonlinear evolution equations using the division theorem

Abstract

In this paper, we show the applicability of the first integral method, which is based on the ring theory of commutative algebra, to the regularized long-wave Burgers equation and the Gilson-Pickering equation under a parameter condition. Our method provides polynomial first integrals for autonomous planar systems. Through the established first integrals, exact traveling wave solutions are derived in a concise manner.
