Abstract

In this work, it is aimed to find one- and two-soliton solutions to nonlinear Tzitzeica-Dodd-Bullough (TDB) equation. Since the double exp-function method has been widely used to solve several nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics, we have also used it with the help of symbolic computation for solving the present equation. The method seems to be easier and more accurate thanks to the recent developments in the field of symbolic computation.
