Analytical solutions of the Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon equation using Khater II and variational iteration methods

Abstract

Abstract This study focuses on solving the Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon ( $$\mathbb {CDG}$$ CDG ) equation using the Khater II ( $$\mathbb {KII}$$ KII ) method and the Variational Iteration ( $${\mathbb {V}}{\mathbb {I}}$$ V I ) method. The $$\mathbb {CDG}$$ CDG equation is a pivotal mathematical model in nonlinear wave dynamics, essential for understanding the evolution, interaction, and preservation of wave forms in dispersive media. Its applications span various fields, including fluid dynamics, nonlinear optics, and plasma physics, where it plays a crucial role in analyzing solitons and complex wave interactions. In this research, we meticulously implement the $$\mathbb {KII}$$ KII and $${\mathbb {V}}{\mathbb {I}}$$ V I methods to derive solutions for this nonlinear partial differential equation. Our findings reveal new aspects of the equation’s behavior, offering deeper insights into nonlinear wave phenomena. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to advancing the understanding of these phenomena and their practical applications in the academic realm. The results underscore the effectiveness of the employed methods, their innovative contributions, and their relevance to applied mathematics.
