Investigation of solitary wave solutions for the (3 + 1)-dimensional Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation

Abstract

In this paper, the new traveling wave solutions containing the trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions and rational functions of [Formula: see text]-dimensional Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation are obtained. The graphs of the solution functions are presented by giving specific values to the constants. Numerical solutions are obtained by using finite difference method with new initial condition. Von Neumann’s Stability, Consistency and Linear Stability analysis of the equation are performed and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] norm errors are also examined with the truncation error. The exact solution obtained is presented via numerical solutions and absolute error graphs, and the analysis of exact solution and the numerical solutions are performed. Complex operations and graphical drawings were made using the computer package program.
