Nonlinear phenomena play a crucial role in applied mathematics and physics. Calculating exact and numerical solutions, in particular, traveling wave solu-tions, of nonlinear equations in mathematical physics play an important role in soliton theory [1, 2]. Many explicit exact methods have been introduced in literature [3-16]. Some of them are: Bäcklund transformation, General-ized Miura Transformation, Darboux transformation, Cole—Hopf transforma-tion, tanh method, sine—cosine method, Painleve method, homogeneous balance method, similarity reduction method and so on.
In this study, we implemented a direct algebraic method [17] for finding the exact solutions of BBM equation, (3+1) dimensional KP equation and CDGK equa-tion. The BBM equation was first put forward as a model for small-amplitude long waves on the surface of water in a channel by Peregrine [18, 19] and later by Benjamin et al. [20]. In physical situations such as unidirectional waves
propagating in a water channel, long-crested waves in near-shore zones, and many others, the BBM equation serves an alternative model to the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation [21, 22]. In applied mathematics, the KP equation [23] is a nonlinear partial differential equation. It is also sometimes called the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-Boussinesq equation. The KP equation is usually writ-ten as
(− 6+ )+ 3 2
= 0
where = ∓1. This equation is implemented to describe slowly varying non-linear waves in a dispersive medium [24]. The above written form shows that the KP equation is a generalization of the KdV equation which is like the KdV equation; the KP equation is completely integrable.The KP equation was first discovered in 1970 by Kadomtsev and Petviashvili when they relaxed the restric-tion that the waves be strictly one-dimensional. In this study, we considered (3+1) dimensional KP equation as an Example 2 in section 2.
2. An Analysis of the Method and applications
Before starting to give a detail of the method, we will give a simple description of a direct algebraic method [17]. For doing this, one can consider in a two variables general form of nonlinear PDE
(1) ( ) = 0 and transform Eq. (1) with
( ) = () = +
where and are arbitrary constants, respectively. After the transformation, we get a nonlinear ODE for ()
(2) 0³0 00 000 ´= 0
Then, the solution of the Eq. (2) we are looking for is expressed in the form as a (3) ( ) = () = X =0
is a positive integer that can be determined by balancing the highest order derivative and with the highest nonlinear terms in equation, and 0 1 are parameters to be determined. Substituting solution (3) into Eq. (2) yields a set of algebraic equations for 0 or , then, all coefficients of 0
or have to vanish. After this separated algebraic equation, we can found 0 1 constants.
In this work, we aim to obtain solution of the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM), (3+1) dimensional Kadomtsev—Petviashvili (KP) and Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon Kawada (CDGK) equation by using the direct algebraic method which is intro-duced by Zhang [17]. The author is using the following sub-equation
(4) ³0´
2
= 33+ 22
where 0 = and 2 3are constants. In his work, he has given several cases to get the solutions of Eq. (4).
Example 1. In the first example, we consider BBM equation [1, 2]
(5) + + − = 0
Let us consider the traveling wave solutions ( ) = () = + then Eq. (5) becomes
(6) ( + ) +
2 2
− 200= 0
where integration constant is taken as zero. When balancing 2 with 00 then gives = 1. Therefore, we may choose
(7) () = 0+ 1 ()
Substituting (7) into Eq. (6) yields a set of algebraic equations for 0 1 2 3. These systems are finding as
0 + 2 0 2 + 0 = 0 (8) 1 + 01 + 1 − 122 = 0 2 1 2 − 3123 2 = 0
from the solutions of the system, we can found Case 1: (9) 0= 0 1= 32 3 −1 + 2 2 = −1 + 2 2 − 1 + 226= 0
with the aid of Mathematica. Substituting (7) and (9) into (4) we have obtained the following solution of Eq. (5). This solution is
Solution 1: (10) ( ) = 32 3 −1 + 2 2 1 √ 2+ 2− √ 2− 3 22 where 2 0 161222= 23 = +−1+2 2. Solution 2: (11) ( ) = 32 3 −1 + 2 2 1 (√−2) + 2Si (√−2) − 3 22 where 2 0 422 ¡ 2 1+ 22 ¢ = 2 3 = +−1+2 2. Solution 3: (12) ( ) = 32 3 −1 + 2 2 3 4 2+ 1 + 2 where 2 1= 32 = + −1+2 2 when 2= 0. (13) ( 0) = −3 2 3 3 4 2 + 1 + 2 where 2 1= 32 = when = 0. Case 2: (14) 0= −2 2 2 1 + 2 2 1= −3 2 3 1 + 2 2 = − 1 + 2 2 6= 0 1 + 2 26= 0 If these values put into Eq. (7), following solutions of the Eq. (5) can be obtained;
Solution 1: (15) ( ) = −2 2 2 1 + 2 2− 32 3 1 + 2 2 1 √ 2+ 2− √ 2− 3 22 where 2 0 161222= 23 = −1+22. Solution 2: (16) ( ) = −2 2 2 1 + 2 2 − 323 1 + 2 2 1 (√−2) + 2Si (√−2) − 3 22 where 2 0 422 ¡ 2 1+ 22 ¢ = 2 3 = −1+22. Solution 3: (17) ( ) = 32 3 1 + 2 2 3 4 2 + 1 + 2 where 2 1= 32 = − 1+22 when 2= 0.
Example 2. Let’s consider as a second example, (3+1) dimensional KP equa-tion [1, 2]
(18) + 6 ()2+ 6− − − = 0
Let us consider the traveling wave solutions ( ) = () = +++ then Eq. (18) becomes
(19) ¡ − 2− 2¢0+ 620− 4000 = 0
where integration constant is taken as zero. When balancing 0 with 000then gives = 1. Therefore, we may choose
(20) () = 0+ 1 ()
Substituting (20) into Eq. (19) yields a set of algebraic equations for 0 1 2 3. These systems are finding as

Solution 3: (25) ( ) = − + 2 + 2 62 + 32 2 3 4 2 + 1 + 2 where 2 1= 32 = + + + when 2= 0. Example 3. We considered CDGK equation [25]

Let us consider the traveling wave solutions ( ) = () = + then Eq. (26) becomes
where integration constant is taken as zero. When balancing 00 with (4)then gives = 1. Therefore, we may choose
(28) () = 0+ 1 ()
Substituting (28) into Eq. (27) yields a set of algebraic equations for 0 1 2 3. These systems are finding as
6030 + 0 = 0 180201 + 300132+ 1522+ 1 = 0 (29) 180021 + 302132+ 450133+ 15 21 5 23= 0 6031 + 452133+ 15 21 52 3
from the solutions of the system, we can found Case 1: (30) 0= 0 1= − 2 3 4 = − 52 2 6= 0
with the aid of Mathematica. Substituting (30) and (28) into (4) we have obtained the following solution of equation (26). This solution is

3. Conclusion
In this paper, we present a direct algebraic method by using Eq. (4) and with aid of Mathematica [26], implement it in a computer algebraic system. An im-plementation of the method is given by applying it third order BBM equation, (3+1) dimensional Kadomtsev—Petviashvili (KP) and Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon Kawada (CDGK) equation. The method can be used to many other nonlinear evolution equations or coupled ones. In addition, this method is also computeri-zable, which allows us to perform complicated and tedious algebraic calculation on a computer by the help of symbolic programs such as Mathematica, Maple, Matlab, and so on.
