English summary) Zbl 1202.65130 Acta Phys. Sin. 55, No. 4, 1555-1560 (2006). Summary: We obtain a class of approximate periodic solutions for the \((2+1)\)-dimensional modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The solutions we obtained agree with the exact solutions. The results indicate that the HAM is still valid for solving a class of higher dimensional evolution equations. We also made some efforts to extend the HAM to find the analytic solutions for more nonlinear evolution equations in an easier way.
