Compacton and periodic wave solutions of the non-linear dispersive Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

Published Online: 2007-04-28 | DOI: https://doi.org/10.2478/s11534-007-0020-y

Abstract

In this paper, the nonlinear dispersive Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation is solved by using the sine-cosine method. As a result, compactons, periodic, and singular periodic wave solutions are found.

Keywords: Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation; Compacton; Periodic wave solution
