A generalized F-expansion method and new exact solutions of Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equations
Introduction
In recent years, nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) are widely used to describe many important phenomena and dynamic processes in physics, mechanics, chemistry, biology, etc. As mathematical models of the phenomena, the investigation of exact solutions of NLPDEs will help one to understand these phenomena better. Many powerful methods for obtaining exact solutions of NLPDEs have been presented, such as inverse scattering method [1], Hirota’s bilinear method [2], Bäcklund transformation [3], Painlevé expansion [4], sine–cosine method [5], homotopy perturbation method [6], [7], [8], Adomian Pade approximation [9], homogenous balance method [10], variational method [11], [12], [13], [14], algebraic method [15], tanh function method [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22] and so on. Recently F-expansion method [23], [24], [25], [26] was proposed to construct periodic wave solutions of NLPDEs, which can be thought of as an over-all generalization of Jacobi elliptic function expansion method [27], [28], [29], [30]. F-expansion method was later extended in different manners [31], [32], [33], [34], [35].
In this paper, by using a new and more general ansatz solution we propose a generalized F-expansion method to construct more general exact solutions of NLPDEs. In order to illustrate the validity and advantages of the method, the (2 + 1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky (KD) equations are considered. As a result, many new and more general non-travelling wave and coefficient function solutions are successfully obtained including single and combined non-degenerate Jacobi elliptic function solutions, soliton-like solutions, trigonometric function solutions.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, we give the description of the generalized F-expansion method; in Section 3, we apply this method to the (2 + 1)-dimensional KD equations; in Section 4, some conclusions are given.

Description of the generalized F-expansion method
For a given NLPDE with independent variables x = (t, x1, x2, … , xm) and dependent variable u:we seek its solutions in the new and more general form:where a0 = a0(x), ai = ai(x), bi = bi(x), ci = ci(x), di = di(x) (i = 1, 2, … , n) and ω = ω(x) are all functions to be determined, F(ω) and F′(ω) in (2) satisfyand hence holds for F(ω) and F′(ω)
New exact solutions of the KD equations
Let us consider the (2 + 1)-dimensional KD equation [34], [36]:where a and b are real constants. Jacobi elliptic function solutions, soliton-like solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational function solutions can be found in Refs. [34], [36]. In this section, we will apply our method to obtain new and more general exact solutions of Eqs. (5), (6).
According to Step 1, we get n = 1 for u and v. In order to search for explicit solutions of Eqs. (5)
Conclusion
In this paper, we have proposed a generalized F-expansion method to seek more general exact solutions of NLPDEs. With the aid of Mathematica, the method provides a powerful mathematical tool to obtain more general exact solutions of a great many NLPDEs in mathematical physics, such as the (3 + 1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, the (2 + 1)-dimensional Broer–Kaup–Kupershmidt (BKK) equations, breaking soliton (BS) equations, Nizhnik–Novikov–Vesselov (NNV) equations, dispersive long
