The variant Boussinesq equation has significant application in propagating long waves on the surface of the liquid layer under gravity action. In this article, the improved Bernoulli subequation function (IBSEF) method and the new auxiliary equation (NAE) technique are introduced to establish general solutions, some fundamental soliton solutions accessible in the literature, and some archetypal solitary wave solutions that are extracted from the broad-ranging solution to the variant Boussinesq wave equation. The established soliton solutions are knowledgeable and obtained as a combination of hyperbolic, exponential, rational, and trigonometric functions, and the physical significance of the attained solutions is speculated for the definite values of the included parameters by depicting the 3D profiles and interpreting the physical incidents. The wave profile represents different types of waves associated with the free parameters that are related to the wave number and velocity of the solutions. The obtained solutions and graphical representations visualize the dynamics of the phenomena and build up the mathematical foundation of the wave process in dissipative and dispersive media. It turns out that the IBSEF method and the NAE are powerful and might be used in further works to find novel solutions for other types of nonlinear evolution equations ascending in physical sciences and engineering.

The Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) and the (2+ 1)-dimensional Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov system (NNV) are presented. Multi-soliton rational solutions of these equations are obtained via the generalized unified method. The analysis emphasizes the power of this method and its capability of handling completely (or partially) integrable equations. Compared with Hirota’s method and the inverse scattering method, the proposed method gives more general exact multi-wave solutions without much additional effort. The results show that, by virtue of symbolic computation, the generalized unified method may provide us with a straightforward and effective mathematical tool for seeking multi-soliton rational solutions for solving many nonlinear evolution equations arising in different branches of sciences.
