Using a New Auxiliary Equation to Construct Abundant Solutions for Nonlinear Evolution Equations ()
1. Introduction
NLEEs are widely used to describe complex phenomena in natural and social sciences. Many well-known models have been developed to illustrate the dynamics of nonlinear waves in the field of modern science and engineering, such as the Kortewegde Vries (KdV) [1] equation, KDV Burgers equation [2] [3], modified KDV (mKdV) equation [4], modified KDV Kadomtsev Petviashvili (mKdVKP) equation [5], and so on. More and more attention is focused on these nonlinear problems, and much nonlinear identification research can eventually be classified as NLEEs. Therefore, how to obtain their exact solutions is very important for the related nonlinear science research, and this has always been an important issue in the research of mathematics and physics [6] - [11]. Significant advancement has been produced in recent years and many strong and effective methods have been developed to obtain accurate solutions of NLEEs. For example, homogeneous balance method [12], algebraic method [13], the sine-cosine method [14], tanh-sech method and the extended tanh-coth method [15] [16], F-expansion method [17] [18], Exp-function method [19], Jacobi elliptic function expansion method [20] [21], the modified extended mapping method [22] [23] [24], auxiliary equation method [25] [26] [27], and so on. Based on previous original methods, the auxiliary equation method constructs the exact solution of ELEEs by introducing auxiliary equations. The application of good auxiliary equations can obtain a large number of new exact solutions of ELEEs. Therefore, finding appropriate auxiliary equations is of great significance to enrich the solution of NLEEs. In this paper, a new auxiliary equation is developed to construct new types of periodic wave solutions of NLEEs, which has not been proposed in previous work. With the cooperation of the previous extended mapping method, many new results are obtained.

where p, q, r are parameters to be selected. In order to construct different types of periodic wave solutions, different p, q, r are selected to determine the different Jacobi elliptic function solutions of Equation (5). Furthermore, these solutions include hyperbolic function solutions when m → 1 and trigonometric function solutions when m → 0. By using the mapping in Ref. [25], Equation (5) has the Jacobi elliptic function solutions as Table 1.

4. Conclusion
In this paper, with the use of a new auxiliary Equation (4) and the extended mapping method (Table 1), abundant new types of Jacobi elliptic function solutions for the generalized Klein-Gordon equation and Benjamin equation are constructed. Some new types of periodic wave solutions and solitary wave solutions have been obtained which have not been found in previous work. The obtained periodic wave solutions and solitary solutions imply that the corresponding periodic wave and solitary wave can be generated under certain conditions of phase space (x, y) and timet. Our method is only to find new periodic solutions and solitary solutions of NLEEs mathematically. The experimental verification needs to design experiments in specific fields to verify the physical significance of our solutions, which we can’t do in this paper. But, despite all this, this method is still promising for constructing abundant periodic wave solutions and solitary solutions and can serve as a useful guide for a broad class of nonlinear problems in the study of mathematics and physics.
