New Solutions for an Elliptic Equation Method and Its Applications in Nonlinear Evolution Equations ()
1. Introduction
Nonlinear phenomena exist in many fields of natural science, such as quantum mechanics, condensed matter, optics, electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, biology, chemistry, geography, atmospheric circulation, etc., which are essentially governed by nonlinear evolution equations. As traveling waves continue to be discovered in the motion of particles, it is becoming more and more important to find new traveling wave solutions, which may help us to explore complex physical laws and reveal the mysterious nature of matter motion. It is an important and interesting task to study exact traveling wave solution for nonlinear evolution equations. Unfortunately, it is worth noting that there is no one unique method that can solve all nonlinear evolution equations, which led to appearing a number of methods, such as the Jacobi elliptic function method [1] , the optional decoupling condition approach [2] the homogeneous balance method [3] ,
improved simple equation method [4] ,

where
. Obviously, Equation (1.6) is a generalization of equation Equation (1.5). Next, we will give three new periodic solutions and two new singular solutions for Equation (1.6). In addition, we will use these new solutions to construct traveling wave solutions for combined KdV-MKdV equation, a fourth-order integrable nonlinear Schrödinger equation and generalized Dullin-Gottwald-Holm equation.
