It is the method which can be adapted to solve nonlinear partial differential euations. Key words: travelling wave solutions; regularized long-wave euation RLW); Phi-Four euation PF); Drinfeld-Sokolov system DS) 1 Introduction The investigation for the travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential euations plays an important role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena. Nonlinear phenomena appears in a wide variety of scientific applications such as plasma physics, solid state physics, optical fibers, biology, fluid dynamics and chemical kinetics. Nonlinear wave phenomena of dispersion, dissipation, diffusion, reaction and convection are very important in nonlinear wave euations. Because of the increased interest in the theory of solitary waves, a broad range of analytical methods was used in the analysis of these scientific models. Mathematical modeling of many physical systems leads to nonlinear ordinary or partial differential euations in various fields of physics and engineering. An effective method is reuired to analyze the mathematical model which provides solutions conforming to physical reality. Common analytic procedures linearize the system or assume that nonlinearities are relatively insignificant. Such assumptions, sometimes strongly, affect the solution with respect to the real physics of the phenomenon. In recent years, new exact solutions may help to find new phenomena. Thus seeking exact solutions of nonlinear ordinary or partial differential euation is great of importance. Various powerful mathematical methods are such as inverse scattering method [1], Backlund transformation [-3], homogeneous balance method [4], tanh method [5-7], extended tanh method [8-10], sine-cosine method [11-13], pseudo spectral method [14], Jacobi elliptic method [15-1] and F-expansion method [17-19]. The auxiliary euation method Let us now simply describe the auxiliary euation method. Suppose we are given nonlinear partial differential euation for ux, t) in the form: We seek its wave solutions of the following form: P u, u t, u x, u tt, u xx,...) = 0 1) u = uξ), ξ = kx ct) + ξ 0, ) Corresponding author.

Under the transformation ), E. 1) becomes an ordinary differential euation as Qu, u, u, u,...) = 0 3) By virtue of the above method we assume that the solution of E. 3) is of the form uξ) = m a i F i ξ), 4) i=0 and F ξ) is the solution of the auxiliary ordinary differential euation F ξ) = F ξ) + 3 F 3 ξ) + 4 F 4 ξ), 5) where, 3, 4 are real parameters, and hence holds for F ξ), F F = F F + 3 3F F + 4 F 3 F, F = F + 3 3F + 4 F 3, F = F + 3 3 F F + 4 F F. ) Integer m in 4) can be determined by considering homogeneous balance between the nonlinear terms and the highest derivatives of uξ) in E. 3). In this paper, we present new types solitary wave solutions of E. 5), we shall seek the explicitly solitary wave solutions of some nonlinear evolution euations by using the following new solitary wave solutions of E. 5): F ξ) = 1 ± sinh ) ξ) 4 4 cosh,, 4 > 0, 3 4 4 = 0, 7) ξ) ± 1 and [0] F ξ) = 3 sec h ξ) 3 ), > 0, 4 1 tanh ξ) sec h ξ) 3 4 4 3 sec h ξ), 3 4 4 > 0, > 0. And then by using some significant special solutions of the auxiliary ordinary differential euation, some famous euations are investigated and exact solutions are explicitly obtained with the aid of symbolic computation [17]. As a result, we obtain new explicit solitary wave solutions of some nonlinear evolution euations. 8) 3 Exact travelling wave solutions of RLW euation The RLW euation is given by u t + au x uu x bu xxt = 0 a, b > 0, 9) where a, b are real constants [11]. Making the transformation ux, t) = uξ), ξ = kx ct) + ξ 0, E. 9) becomes a c)u uu + bck u = 0. 10) Following the balancing act procedure we balance the highest order of derivative term u with the highest power nonlinear term uu, yields m =.

Ahmet BEKIR: New Exact Travelling Wave Solutions for Regularized Long-wave, Phi-Four 51 Conclusion The auxiliary euation method was succesfully used to establish solitary wave solutions. Many well known nonlinear wave euations were handled by this method to show the new solutions compared to the solutions obtained in [1],[1]. The performance of the auxiliary euation method is reliable and effective and gives more solutions. The applied method will be used in further works to establish more entirely new solutions for other kinds of nonlinear wave euations. The availability of computer systems like Mathematica or Maple facilitates the tedious algebraic calculations. The method which we have proposed in this letter is also a standard, direct and computerizable method, which allows us to do complicated and tedious algebraic calculation. References [1] M. J.
