A theoretical investigation has been made of the roles of the degeneracy and the dynamics of electrons and ions on the DIA (dust ion-acoustic) Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) and modified Kortewegde Vries (mK-dV) solitons that are found to exit in a dusty degenerate dense plasma contain...
In this paper, the modified double sub-equation method is proposed to construct complexiton solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). By means of this method, some new complexiton solutions to nonlinear PDEs are obtained, which are non-travelling wave and vari...
