Exact solutions to the Benney-Luke equation and the Phi-4 equations by using modified simple equation method

The modified simple equation (MSE) method is a competent and highly effective mathematical tool for extracting exact traveling wave solutions to nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) arising in science, engineering and mathematical physics. In this article, we implement the MSE method to find the exact solutions involving parameters to NLEEs via the Benney-Luke equation and the Phi-4 equations. The solitary wave solutions are derived from the exact traveling wave solutions when the parameters receive their special values. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
