Exact Solutions for Coupled Variable Coefficient KdV Equation via Quadratic Jacobi’s Elliptic Function Expansion

Abstract

The exact traveling wave solutions to coupled KdV equations with variable coefficients are obtained via the use of quadratic Jacobi’s elliptic function expansion. The presented coupled KdV equations have a more general form than those studied in the literature. Nine couples of quadratic Jacobi’s elliptic function solutions are found. Each couple of traveling wave solutions is symmetric in mathematical form. In the limit cases m→1, these periodic solutions degenerate as the corresponding soliton solutions. After the simple parameter substitution, the trigonometric function solutions are also obtained.
