TY - JOUR TI - Multi-wave solutions for a non-isospectral KDV-type equation with variable coefficients AU - Zhang Sheng AU - Gao Qun AU - Zong Qian-An AU - Liu Dong JN - Thermal Science PY - 2012 VL - 16 IS - 5 SP - 1476 EP - 1479 PT - Article AB - As a typical mathematical model in fluids and plasmas, Korteweg-de Vries equation is famous. In this paper, the Exp-function method is extended to a nonisos-pectral Korteweg-de Vries type equation with three variable coefficients, and multi-wave solutions are obtained. It is shown that the Expfunction method combined with appropriate ansatz may provide with a straightforward, effective and alternative method for constructing multi-wave solutions of variable-coefficient non-linear evolution equations.
