Catalogue identifier: ADUP
Journal reference: Comput. Phys. Commun. 163(2004)191
Programming language: Maple 8.
Computer: PC Pentium IV.
Operating system: Windows 98/2000/XP.
RAM: depends on the problem, minimum about 8M words
Word size: 8
Keywords: nonlinear evolution equations, travelling wave solutions, dependent variable, independent variable.
PACS: 03.40.Kf, 04.30.Nk, 02.90.+p, 03.65.Fd.
Classification: 5.
Nature of problem: Our program provides exact travelling wave solutions, which describe various phenomena in nature, and thus can give more insight into the physical aspects of problems. These solutions may be easily used in further applications.
Restrictions: The program can handle system of nonlinear evolution equations with any number of independent and dependent variables, in which each equation is a polynomial (or can be converted to a polynomial) in the dependent variables and their derivatives.
Running time: It depends on the input equations as well as the degrees of the desired polynomial solutions. For most of the equations we have computed, the running time is no more than 100 seconds.
