Constructing families of soliton-like solutions to a (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation using symbolic computation

The application of computer algebra to science has a bright future. In this paper, using computerized symbolic computation, new families of soliton-like solutions are obtained for (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equations using an ansatz. These solutions contain traveling wave solutions that are of important significance in explaining some physical phenomena. The method can also be applied to other types of nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.
