Many new exact traveling wave solutions are successfully obtained, which contain soliton solutions. This method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations. http://pubs.sciepub.com/jmsa/1/2/3/jmsa-1-2-3.pdf He’s semi-inverse method (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation
