Abstract
In this work, some novel analytic traveling wave solutions including the cnoidal and solitary wave solutions of the planar Extended Kawahara equation are deduced. Four different analytical methods (the Jacobian elliptic function, Weierrtrass elliptic function, the traditional tanh method and the sech-square) are devoted for solving this equation. By means of the Jacobian elliptic function ansatz, the cnoidal and soliary wave solutions are obtained. Also, new cnoidal wave solutions are derived via a new hypothesis in the form of the Weierrtrass elliptic function. Moreover, the standard tanh method is utilized to get a new set of solitary wave solutions for the evolution equation. Over and above, the hyperbolic ansatz method (a new ansatz in the form of squre-sech) is employed to get a new set of solitary wave solutions for the evolution equation. Furthermore, all obtained solutions of the planar Extended Kawahara equation cover the traveling wave solutions of the planar modified Kawahara equation. These solutions maybe useful to many researchers interested in studying the propagation of nonlinear waves in nonlinear dispersion mediums like plasma physics, optical fibers, fluid mechanics, and many different branches of science.
