Abstract
This paper obtains the 1-soliton solution of the Jaulent-Miodek equation with power law nonlinearity. The solitary wave ansatz is used to obtain the soliton solution to this equation. Subsequently, the conserved quantities are computed using the invariance and multiplier approach based on the well known result that the Euler-Lagrange operator annihilates the total divergence.
