In this paper, the generalized ( GG )-expansion method (Wang et al. (2008) and Zhang et al. (2008) [13,14]) is used to construct exact solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii’s breaking soliton equation. As a result, non-travelling wave solutions with three arbitrary functions are obtained including hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. If the parameters take different values, some 0 more solutions are derived. It is shown that the generalized ( GG )-expansion method, with the help of symbolic computation, provides an effective and powerful method for solving high-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction It is well known that nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) are widely used to describe complex phenomena in various fields of science, such as hydrodynamics, solid-state physics, plasma physics. The study of exact solutions of these nonlinear equations plays an important role in soliton theory. Thus, a number of powerful methods have been presented. For example, the inverse scattering method [1], Hirota’s bilinear method [2], Bäcklund transformation [3], the homogeneous balance method [4], variational method [5,6], algebra method [7], sine–cosine method [8], the Jacobi elliptic function method [9], the F-expansion method [10] and so on. The (2 + 1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii’s breaking soliton equation ut + uxxy + 4uuy + 4ux ∂ −1 uy = 0,
(1.1)
its equivalent form [11] ut + uxxy + 4uvx + 4ux v = 0,
(1.2)
uy = v x ,
(1.3)
which describes the (2 + 1)-dimensional interaction of a Riemann wave propagating along the y axis with a long wave long the x axis. The u = u(x, y, t ) represents the physical field and v = v(x, y, t ) some potential. This equation is typical of the so-called ‘‘breaking soliton’’ equation and was studied by Bogoyavenskii, where overlapping solutions were generated [12].

expansion method with variable coefficients. In Section 3, we apply this method to the (2 + 1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii’s breaking soliton equation. In the last section, some conclusions are given. 2. The description of the method For a given NLPDEs with independent variables X = (x, y, z , . . . , t ) and dependent variable u:
Φ (u, ux , uy , ut , uxx , uxy , uxt , . . .) = 0.
(2.1)
We seek its solutions in this general form: u=
n X
ai (Y )
i =0
G0 (ξ )
i (2.2)
G(ξ )
where Y = (y, z , . . . , t ), G = G(ξ ), ξ = ξ (X ) and ai (Y ) (i = 0, . . . , n) to be determined later, and G satisfies: G00 + λG + µG = 0.
(2.3)
To determine u explicitly, we take the following four steps: Step 1: Determine the degree n by balancing the highest degree and nonlinear term in Eq. (2.1). Step 2: Substituting Eqs. (2.2) and (2.3) into Eq. (2.1), yields a polynomial of
0 G G
. Setting the coefficients of
0 i G G
to zero
lead out a set of over-determined nonlinear partial differential equations of ai (Y ) and ξ . Step 3: Solving the over-determined nonlinear partial differential equations that we have got in Step 2 with the help of Maple, we can work out the explicit expressions of ai (Y ) and ξ . Step 4: Substituting the results obtained in Step 3 and the well-known solutions of Eq. (2.3) into (2.2), then we can obtain exact solutions of Eq. (2.1). 3. Application to the (2 + 1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii’s breaking soliton equation According to the method, by balancing the highest nonlinear term and the highest order derivative term, the ansatz solutions of Eqs. (1.2) and (1.3) can be written as the following form: u = a2 (y, t )
v = b2 (y, t )
G0 (ξ )

(3.2)
where ξ = kx + η, η = η(y, t ) and a2 b2 6= 0. With the aid of Maple, substituting ansatz solutions (3.1) and (3.2) along with Eq. (2.3) into Eqs. (1.2) and (1.3), the left

(i = 0, 1, 2, . . .). Setting each coefficient of to zero yields a set of over-determined nonlinear partial differential equations of ai (y, t ), bi (y, t ) and η as follows: 0 0 G : a0t + a1y µλk2 + 2a2y µ2 k2 − a1 (λ2 − µ)µηy k2 − 4a0 b1 µk − 3a1 µ2 k2 ηy − a1 µηt sides of Eqs.

Bogoyavlenskii’s breaking soliton equation, more and new non-travelling wave solutions with three arbitrary functions are obtained including hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. If the parameters take different values, different hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions are derived. To our knowledge, these new solutions have not been reported in former literature, they may be of significant importance for the explanation of some special physical phenomena. This method can be applied to high-dimensional NLPDEs in mathematical physics.
