Abstract

In this paper, some travelling wave solutions of the Modified Boussinesq (MBQ) equation are obtained by using the modified expansion function method (MEFM). When the obtained solutions are commented, trigonometric functions including hyperbolic features are obtained. The 2D and 3D graphics of the solutions have been investigated by selecting appropriate parameters. All the obtained solutions provide the MBQ equation. In this work, all mathematical calculations are done with Wolfram Mathematica software.
