NLPDEs, Three-dimensional KdV, Modified Three-dimensional KdV, Tanh-Coth Method with Ricatti EquationAbstract
In this study, we successfully employed the Tanh-Coth method alongside the Riccati equation transformation to derive exact soliton solutions for both the three-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (3D KdV) equation and its modified variant. This analytical approach enabled the systematic reduction of the complex nonlinear partial differential equations to solvable ordinary differential equations. By assuming a traveling wave transformation and expressing the solution in terms of hyperbolic tangent and hyperbolic cotangent functions, solutions of the Riccati equation, we obtained a variety of solitary wave profiles, including kink, anti-kink, and localized pulse solutions. Graphical representation for some of the obtained solutions is portrayed to show the nature of the kink, anti-kink and localized pulse solution in 3D, contours and 2D respectively, by choosing suitable values of parameters.
