Generalized Extended Tanh-Function Method for Traveling Wave Solutions of Nonlinear Physical Equations

Abstract

In this paper, the generalized extended tanh-function method is used for constructing the traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. We choose Fisher's equation, the nonlinear schrödinger equation to illustrate the validity and advantages of the method. Many new and more general traveling wave solutions are obtained. Furthermore, this method can also be applied to other nonlinear equations in physics.
