1. Introduction

The combination of the KdV and mKdV equation is the Gardner equation. In many areas of applied mathematics and physics, videlicet, plasma physics, nonlinear physics, fluid dynamics, the Gardner equation interprets the reality. Gardner equation is the most imperative model which is in the form [1].

Equation (1)

Many models can be extracted from this model by selecting different values of $\alpha ,\,\beta $ and $\gamma .$ The KdV equation attain from the Gardner equation when we set $\beta =0$ and $\gamma =1$ in equation (1) which is important in the plasma physics and shallow water wave. Again, if we put $\alpha =0$ and $\gamma =1,$ model (1) turns into the mKdV equation which is significant in the study of the multi-component plasma and electric circuits [2]. Therefore, numerous physical models, which intimately connected for studying physics the Gardner equation widely used. Thus, many methods have been executed to extract exact solutions, for instance the restrictive Taylor approximation for the Gardner and KdV equation [3], an analytic N-solitary wave solution by the Hirota bilinear method [4], the sub-ODE method [5], Wazwaz [6, 7] studied this equation and attain new solitons and kink solutions through the expansion method [8], the bilinear transformation method [9] and extended homoclinic test approach [10].

The modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (mBBM) equation [11] is in form

Equation (2)

This equation describes the acoustic-gravity waves in compressible fluids, the surface long waves in nonlinear dispersive media, acoustic waves in a harmonic crystals and hydro-magnetic waves in cold plasma. The mBBM model is most important in the study of shock and solitary waves. This equation is much studied in nonlinear physics. Different approaches are put in use, explicitly Manafianher is obtained the exact solutions by using the generalized (G'/G)-expansion method [11], Bekir applied the (G'/G)-expansion method [12], the Exp-function method [13], the tanh and the sine-cosine methods [14] to construct exact solutions of the mBBM equation. Therefore, to find the exclusive solutions to the mBBM equation [15] Benjamin implemented the first integral method [16] and characterizes the approximation for surface long waves in nonlinear dispersive media [17] and Layeni used the new hyperbolic auxiliary function method [18] and fully discrete Galerkin approximations [19].

In this article, we interpret the EMSE method to extract exact solution to the Gardner equation and mBBM equation. There are many complex phenomena appeared in different field of mathematical physics and engineering that can be expressed by NLEEs. To examine the NLEEs there are many methods, such as the (G'/G)-expansion method [20], the F-expansion method [2123], the MSE method [24, 25] etc The EMSE method provides large-number of solutions to the nonlinear evolution equations than other methods, namely the tanh method, the sine-cosine method etc.

The rest of the article has been arranged as, in section 2, outline of the EMSE method has been arranged. In section 3, solutions have been determined by means of the introduced method to the Gardner and mBBM equations. In section 4, we present graphical representations of the attained solutions. Finally in section 5, we have drawn the conclusion of this article.

2. Outline of the enhanced modified simple equation method

In this part, we discuss the EMSE method in order to derive exact soliton solutions to NLEEs arise in mathematical physics and engineering problems. Let us consider a NLEE

Equation (3)

where $u(x,\,t)\,$ is an unidentified function and $E\,$ is a function of $u(x,\,t)$ and its partial derivatives in which maximal order derivatives and nonlinear terms are attached. The steps of the method are as follows:

Step 1: We introduce the generalized wave transformation

Equation (4)

where $p(t)$ and $q(t)$ are differentiable functions of t. Making use of wave transformation (4), equation (3) converts into

Equation (5)

where $\cdot \equiv d/dt$ and $^{\prime} \equiv d/d\xi .$

Step 2:As per the EMSE method the solution structure of equation (5)is of the form

Equation (6)

where ${c}_{j}(t)$ is arbitrary function of $t$ such that ${c}_{n}(t)\ne 0$ and $\varphi (\xi )$ is an unrevealed function.

Step 3: In this step, we are devoted to evaluate the highest power of the series solution equation (6). To do that, we balance homogeneously among the nonlinear terms and the maximum order derivatives in equation (5).

Step 4: We compute the essential derivatives $u^{\prime} ,u^{\prime\prime} ,\cdots \,$ of the considered solution $u\left(\xi \right)$ and then inserting the derivatives into (5), we attained to an equation with the function $\phi (\xi )$ and its derivatives as well as ${c}_{j}(t).$ Setting the coefficients of $x{\varphi }^{-j},{\varphi }^{-j};$ $j=0,1,\cdots \,,n+1$ equal to zero, yield a system of equations. Solving the set of equations for the polynomial of $\phi (\xi )$ and ${c}_{j}(t),$ we attain to the require solution of equation (2).

3. Formulation of the solutions through the EMSE method

Now we will pay attention to put in use the EMSE method to extract the exact soliton solutions to the mBBM equation and the Gardner equation

3.1. The gardner equation

According to step 3, we consider the subsequent traveling wave variable

Equation (7)

Differentiating equation (7) with respect to $\xi ,$ yields

Similarly, the higher derivatives are:

and ${u}_{xxx}={p}^{3}u\prime\prime\prime .$

Now, using the derivatives, equation (1) turns out into

Equation (8)

Integrating equation (8), we attain

Equation (9)

Using the balance between the principle of the highest order derivative $u^{\prime\prime} $ and the nonlinear term ${u}^{3},$ gives $n=1.$

Therefore, solution of equation (9) takes the shape

Equation (10)

Differentiating twice equation (10) with respect to $\xi ,$ yields

Equation (11)

Putting (10) and (11) into equation (9), we accomplish

The above equation can be simplified as

Equating the coefficient of ${\varphi }^{0},x{\varphi }^{-0},x{\varphi }^{-1},{\varphi }^{-1},{\varphi }^{-2}$ and ${\varphi }^{-3}$ to zero, we attain the subsequent set of algebraic and differential equations:

Equation (12)

Equation (13)

Equation (14)

Equation (15)

Equation (16)

Equation (17)

Since ${c}_{1}\ne 0$ and $\varphi ^{\prime} \ne 0,$ then equations (13) and (14) gives the following result

$\dot{p}=0.i.e.p=H(const)$

From equation (12), we obtain

From equation (17), we attain the value of ${c}_{1}$

Thus equation (15) can be rewritten as

Equation (18)

Substituting the value of $\varphi ^{\prime} \,$from (18) into equation (16), we achieve

Equation (19)

Integrating equation (19), gives

Equation (20)

where $\xi =p(t)x+q(t).$

Inserting the value $\varphi ^{\prime\prime} \,$ from equations (20) into (18), we achieve

Integrating with respect to $\xi ,$ we get

Equation (21)

where ${a}_{1}(t)$ and ${a}_{2}(t)$ are arbitrary functions of $t.$

Putting the value of $\varphi $ and $\varphi ^{\prime} $ into solution (10), we obtain the following solution

Equation (22)

Equation (22) is the exact solitary wave solution of the Burger Huxley equation.

Case 1. When ${c}_{0}=0$ and ${c}_{1}=\sqrt{\tfrac{-6{H}^{2}\gamma }{\beta }}$ then equation (22) reduce to

Equation (23)

where $\xi =Hx+q(t).$

If we set ${a}_{2}=\pm 1$ and ${a}_{1}=\tfrac{\dot{q}}{{H}^{3}\gamma }$ into solution (22), we accomplish

Case 2. If ${c}_{0}=0$ and ${c}_{1}=-\sqrt{\tfrac{-6{H}^{2}\gamma }{\beta }},$ solution (22) reduce to

Equation (24)

where $\xi =Hx+q(t).$

On the other hand, if we set ${a}_{2}=\pm 1$ and ${a}_{1}=\tfrac{\dot{q}}{{H}^{3}\gamma }$ into solution (22)

Then we have ${u}_{2,1}=\displaystyle \frac{6\dot{q}}{\alpha H}\left[1+\,\tanh \left(\tfrac{\dot{q}}{{H}^{2}\alpha }\sqrt{-\tfrac{6\beta }{\gamma }}\xi \right)\right].$

Case 03. If ${c}_{0}=\tfrac{\alpha H+\sqrt{{\alpha }^{2}{H}^{2}+8H\beta \dot{q}}}{2H\beta }$ and ${c}_{1}=\sqrt{\tfrac{-6{H}^{2}\gamma }{\beta }},$ the solution o (22) becomes

Equation (25)

3.2. The modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation

In this subsection, the EMSE method is used in order to establish exact soliton solutions to the mBBM equation. We consider the mBBM equation [11]:

Equation (26)

According to step 3, we consider the following traveling wave variable

Equation (27)

Making use of the wave variable (27), the mBBM equation converts into

Equation (28)

Integrating equation (28) with respect to $\xi ,$ yields

Equation (29)

Using the homogeneous balance between the terms ${u}^{3}$ and $u^{\prime\prime} ,$ we attain $n=1.$

Thus, solution shape is of the form

Equation (30)

Differentiating twice solution (30) with respect to $\xi ,$ gives

Equation (31)

Inserting the solution (30) along with the relations presented in (31) into the equation (29), we attain

Equating the coefficient of ${\varphi }^{0},x{\varphi }^{-0},x{\varphi }^{-1},{\varphi }^{-1},{\varphi }^{-2}$ and ${\varphi }^{-3},$ we derive the following equations:

Equation (32)

Equation (33)

Equation (34)

Equation (35)

Equation (36)

Equation (37)

Since ${c}_{1}\ne 0$ and $\varphi ^{\prime} \ne 0,$ then (33) and (34) give the following result

And from equation (32), we get

From equation (37), we attain the value of ${c}_{1}$

${c}_{1}=H\sqrt{\displaystyle \frac{-2}{\upsilon }}$ since ${c}_{1}\ne 0.$

We can rewrite the equation (36) as follows:

Equation (38)

Now substituting the value of $\varphi ^{\prime} $ from (38) into equation (35), provides

Equation (39)

Integrating equation (39), we attain

Equation (40)

where $\xi =Hx+q(t).$

Substituting the value of $\varphi ^{\prime\prime} $ into equation (39), we acquire

Integrating with respect to $\xi ,$ we get

Equation (41)

where ${a}_{1}(t)$ and ${a}_{2}(t)$ are arbitrary functions of $t.$

Putting the value of $\varphi $ and $\varphi ^{\prime} $ into the equation (30), we attain

Equation (42)

Solution (42) is the general solitary wave solution of the mBBM equation.

Case 1. If ${c}_{0}=0$ and ${c}_{1}=H\sqrt{\tfrac{-3}{\upsilon }},$ the solution equation (42) is unbounded. So this case is rejected.

Case 2. Again, if ${c}_{0}=\sqrt{\tfrac{H+\dot{q}}{H\upsilon }}$ and ${c}_{1}=H\sqrt{\tfrac{-3}{\upsilon }},$ the solution (42) reduce to

Equation (43)

where $\xi =Hx+q(t).$

If we set ${a}_{2}=\pm 1$ and ${a}_{1}=\tfrac{2\left(\dot{q}+H\right)}{{H}^{3}},$ the solution (43) becomes

Case 3. When ${c}_{0}=-\sqrt{\tfrac{H+\dot{q}}{H\upsilon }}$ and ${c}_{1}=H\sqrt{\tfrac{-3}{\upsilon }},$ solution (42) reduce to

Equation (44)

where $\xi =Hx+q(t).$

If we set ${a}_{2}=\pm 1$ and ${a}_{1}=\tfrac{2\left(\dot{q}+H\right)}{{H}^{3}}$ into the equation (44) becomes

Case 4. When ${c}_{0}=\sqrt{\tfrac{H+\dot{q}}{H\upsilon }}$ and ${c}_{1}=-H\sqrt{\tfrac{-3}{\upsilon }}$ then equation (42) reduce to

Equation (45)

where $\xi =Hx+q(t).$

If we set ${a}_{2}=\pm 1$ and ${a}_{1}=\tfrac{2\left(\dot{q}+H\right)}{{H}^{3}}$ into the solution (45), then it becomes

4. Graphical representations

In this section, we explain the graphical demonstration of the obtained solutions to the Gardner equation and the mBBM equation. By implementing EMSE method, we obtained further exact solution of the Gardner equation and mBBM equation through free parameters. We have depicted the 3D and 2D figure of some attained solitary wave solutions through the computer algebraic software MAPLE.

5. Comparison of the solutions

Lin [26] examined the Gardner equation through the tanh-coth method. The tanh-coth method is also an important analytical method to examine closed form solitary wave solutions. Therefore, we have compared the attained solutions with those obtained by the tanh-coth method (Lin [26]) and shown in table 1.

Table 1.  Comparison of the obtained solutions with the solutions found by Lin [26].

Solutions found in Lin [26] Solutions found in this article
${u}_{2}(x,t)=-\tfrac{1}{2\,{\varepsilon }^{2}}+\tfrac{1}{2\,{\varepsilon }^{2}}\,\coth \left[\tfrac{1}{2\,\varepsilon }\left(x-c\,t\right)\right].$ ${u}_{1,2}\left(x,t\right)=-\tfrac{1}{2}+\tfrac{1}{2}\,\coth \left[\tfrac{1}{2}\left(x+1\right)\right].$
If we put $\varepsilon =c=1$ and $t=1,$ the above equation turn into ${u}_{2}(x,t)=-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}+\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\,\coth \left[\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\left(x+1\right)\right].$ where $\dot{q}=-1/2,$ $\alpha =H={c}_{1}=1,$ $p\left(t\right)=1,\,q(t)=1.$

It is observed from the table 1 that the obtained solution ${u}_{1,2}$ is similar to the solutions ${u}_{2}$ found by Lin [26]. It is also observable that, we have attained seven solutions. On the other hand, Lin [26] received only three solutions wherein the attained solution ${u}_{1,2}$ is identical to the solution ${u}_{2}\,$for specific values of the parameters which validates the introduced method. Besides, the attained remaining six solutions are different than the other two solutions obtained by Lin [26]. Therefore, we might assert the EMSE method is optimal than the tanh-coth method for the Gardner equation.

Yusufoglu [14] studied the mBBM equation through the extended tanh method. The extended tanh method is also a powerful method for searching solitary wave solutions. Therefore, we have compared the obtained solutions with those found by the extended tanh method (Yusufoglu [14]) and shown in table 2.

Table 2.  Comparison of the obtained solutions with the solutions found by Yusufoglu [14].

Solutions found in Yusufoglu [14] Solutions found in this article
${u}_{2}(x,t)=\sqrt{\tfrac{-6b}{a\left(2b-1\right)}}\,\tanh \left[\left(x+\tfrac{t}{2b-1}\right)\right].$ ${u}_{3,1}(x,t)=\,\tanh \left(x+t\right)$
Setting $a=-6,\,b=1,$ the above solution turns into where $\dot{q}=-2,$ $H=1,$ $\upsilon =-1,$ $p\left(t\right)=\tfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}},$ $q(t)=\tfrac{t}{\sqrt{2}}.$
${u}_{2}(x,t)=\,\tanh \left(x+t\right).$  

It is noteworthy to notice from table 2 that the obtained solution ${u}_{3,1}$ is parallel to the solutions ${u}_{2}$ found by Yusufoglu [14]. It is also noticeable that, we have attainednine solutions; on the other hand Yusufoglu [14] found only four solutions of which the solution ${u}_{2}$ is similar with the attained one solution ${u}_{3,1}.$ Besides, the attained remaining eight solutions have not been established by Yusufoglu [14]. Setting specific values of the parameters, we will get many new solutions from these general solutions. That is the specialty of this method.

6. Conclusion

In this article, we have established different type of soliton solutions to the Gardner equation and the mBBM equation through the EMSE method. The solutions include the bell shaped soliton, kink, singular kink, periodic, soliton etc The method is compatible, useful and functional to substantiate new and further general closed form exact solutions to the NLEEs. We have depicted the 3D and 2D graphs to visualize the inner structure of the complicated nonlinear phenomena. This study shows that the EMSE method useful, reliable and provide adequate general solutions to NLEEs.
