New exact solutions to the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation and its generalized form. (English) Zbl 1221.35328
Summary: The extended hyperbolic function method is used for analytic treatment of the $\left(2+1\right)$-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation and its generalized form. We can obtained some new explicit exact solitary wave solutions, the multiple nontrivial exact periodic travelling wave solutions, the solitons solutions and complex solutions. Some known results in the literatures can be regarded as special cases. The methods employed here can also be used to solve a large class of nonlinear evolution equations.
