Simplest equation method to look for exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations

New method is presented to look for exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations. Two basic ideas are at the heart of our approach. One of them is to use the general solutions of the simplest nonlinear differential equations. Another idea is to take into consideration all possible singularities of equation studied. Application of our approach to search exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations is discussed in detail. The method is used to look for exact solutions of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation and the equation for description of nonlinear waves in a convective fluid. New exact solitary and periodic waves of these equations are given.
