1 Introduction

In the recent years, there has been growing interest in finding exact analytical solutions to nonlinear wave equations by using appropriate techniques, which can help one to well understand the mechanism of the complicated physical phenomena. The investigations of exact travelling wave solutions for nonlinear PDEs play an important role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena. The nonlinear phenomena exists in all the fields including both the scientific and engineering fields such as fluid mechanics, plasma physics, optical fibers, biology, solid state physics, chemical kinematics, chemical physics, and so on. Many powerful methods have been established and developed to construct the travelling wave solutions of NLPDEs, such as the the tanh function method[1-4], Hirotas bilinear transformation[5-7],inverse scattering transform method[8], exp-function method[9-13],homogeneous balance method[14-15], the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method[16-18], sine-cosine method[19-20], the Backlund transform method[21]and so on. The above methods derived many types of solutions from most nonlinear evolution equations.

Every method has some restrictions in their implementations. Basically, there is no integrated method which could be utilized to handle all types of nonlinear PDEs. Another powerful and effective method has been presented by Wang et al.[22]to construct exact travelling wave solutions and is called the (G′/G)-expansion method. Afterwards, several researchers applied this basic method to obtain travelling wave solutions for different nonlinear PDEs[23-26]. In this paper, we consider the (1+1)-dimensional KdV equation

(1)

whereuis the function of (x,t),α0,α1,α2,βare nonzero constants. It has a broad background in hydrodynamics, plasma physics, gas dynamics. It is one of the equations which physicists and mathematicians are interested in [27]. Complexiton solutions to the Korteweg-de Vries equation[28], exact solutions of a KdV equation with variable coefficients[29], exact solutions of high-order KdV equations[30-32], new solitary wave for KdV-mKdV[33], soliton solutions for a generalized Hirota-Satsuma coupled KdV equation and a coupled MKdV equation[34-35], exact solutions of mixed Kdv equations[36-37]have been studied.

The aim of this paper is to construct the exact solutions of (1+1)-dimensional KdV Eq. (1). The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the procedure of (G′/G)-expansion method for finding the exact solutions to the nonlinear partial differential equation is introduced. In Section 3, hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions and the rational function solutions are obtained. The conclusion is given in Section 4.

2 The (G′/G)-expansion method

Suppose the following NLPDEs in the form

(2)

whereu=u(x,t) is an unknown function,His a polynomial onu=u(x,t) and its partial derivatives, in which the highest order derivatives and nonlinear terms are involed. The essence of the (G′/G)-expansion method can be presented in the following steps:

Step 1 The travelling wave variable

(3)

reduces Eq.(2) to an ODE foru=u(ξ) in the form

(4)

whereCis a constant.

Step 2 Suppose that the solution of (4) can be expressed by a polynomial in (G′/G) as follows:

(5)

whereG=G(ξ) satisfies the second order linear differential equation in the form

(6)

whereai(i=0,1,…n) are constants to be determined later.

Step 3 Determine the positive integernin (5) by using the homogeneous balance between the highest order derivatives and nonlinear terms appearing in (4).

Step 4 Substituting (5) into (4) and using (6), collecting all terms with the same power of (G′/G) together, and then equating each coefficient of the resulted polynomial to zero, yields a set of algebraic equations forai,C,λandμ.

Step 5 Since the general solutions of (6) have been well known to us, then substitutingai(i=0,1),C,λ,μand the general solutions of (6) into (5) we have more travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential (2).

3 Exact solutions of the mixed KdV equation

In this section, we apply the (G′/G)-expansion method to solve the mixed (1+1)-dimensional KdV equation.

We make the transformationu(x,t)=u(ξ),ξ=x+Ct. Then we get

(8)

where ′ denotes the derivative with respect toξ.

By integration with respect toξ, (8) becomes

(9)

whereDis the integration constant. We makeD=0.Balancingu? withu3givesN=1. Therefore, we can write the solution of (8) in the form

(10)

By (5) and (10) we derive

(11)

(12)

(13)

Substituting (10)-(13) into (9), setting the coefficients of (G′/G)i(i=0,1,2,3) to be zero, we obtain a system of algebraic equations fora0,a1,C,λandμas follows

(14)

(15)

(16)

(17)

We get

(18)

On solving the above algebraic equation set, we get

(19)

and

(20)

λandμare arbitrary constants. Substituting the solution set (19),(20) and the corresponding solutions of (6) into (10), we have three types of travelling wave solutions of the mixed KdV equations.

whenλ2-4μ>0, we obtain the hyperbolic function travelling wave solution

whereC1andC2are arbitrary constants of the general solutions of the second order linear ODE.

These are solitary wave solutions of the mixed KdV equation.

whenλ2-4μ=0, we obtain the rational function solutions

(25)

(26)

whereC1andC2are arbitrary constants of the general solutions of the second order linear ODE.

Whenλ2-4μ<0, we obtain the trigonometric solutions

(27)

(28)

whereC1andC2are arbitrary constants of the general solutions of the second order linear ODE.
