On the Extended Simple Equations Method (SEsM) for Obtaining Numerous Exact Solutions to Fractional Partial Differential Equations: A Generalized Algorithm and Several Applications by Elena V. Nikolova

“…As a result, numerous novel multi-wave solutions are derived, involving combinations of hyperbolic-like, elliptic-like, and trigonometric-like functions. The obtained analytical solutions can provide valuable qualitative insights into complex wave dynamics in generalized spatio-temporal dynamical systems, with relevance to areas such as ocean current modeling, multiphase fluid dynamics and geophysical fluid modeling.…”
