Explicit exact solutions for the (2 + 1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation

摘要

In this paper, we construct new explicit exact solutions for the coupled the (2 + 1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation (KD equation) by using a improved mapping approach and variable separation method. By means of the method, new types of variable-separation solutions (including solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions and rational function solutions) for the KD system are successfully obtained. The improved mapping approach and variable separation method can be applied to other higher-dimensional coupled nonlinear evolution equations.
