Abstract

In this paper, more recent method, called the Exp-function, is used to find generalized solutions of the important soliton equations which is called equal width wave (EW) and modified equal width wave (MEW) equations. It is shown that the Exp-function method with the help of symbolic computation provides a straight forward and powerful mathematical tool for solving other nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics. Additionally, this paper studies the EW/MEW equation by the aid of He’s semi-inverse variational principle.
