Abstract

In this article, the authors study the exact traveling wave solutions of modified Zakharov equations for plasmas with a quantum correction by hyperbolic tangent function expansion method, hyperbolic secant expansion method, and Jacobi elliptic function ex-pansion method. They obtain more exact traveling wave solutions including trigonometric function solutions, rational function solutions, and more generally solitary waves, which are called classical bright soliton, W-shaped soliton, and M-shaped soliton.
