Abstract

In this paper, tanh method is applied to obtain exact solutions for two systems of nonlinear wave equations, namely, two component evolutionary system of homogeneous KdV equations of order 3 (type I as well as type II). Moreover, traveling wave hypothesis is used to obtain sech solution of type II coupled KdV system, in a more general setting. The results show that this method presents exact solutions compared with other methods and it is a powerful tool for solving systems of nonlinear PDEs.
