ON THE GENERALIZED TANH METHOD FOR THE (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL BREAKING SOLITON EQUATION

Abstract

There is an open question as to whether or not the recently-proposed tanh method can be modified in order to proceed beyond the traveling or solitary wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equations. On the other hand, the class of the breaking soliton equations, which the self-dual Yang-Mills equation is found to belong to, is of current interest. In this letter, we propose a generalized tanh method, with symbolic computation, to construct a family of soliton-like solutions for a (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation.
