Abstract

A method is proposed to construct closed-form solutions of nonlinear differential-difference equations. For the variety of nonlinearities, this method only deals with such equations which are written in polynomials in function and its derivative. Some closed-form solutions of Hybrid lattice, Discrete mKdV lattice, and modified Volterra lattice are obtained by using the proposed method. The travelling wave solutions of nonlinear differential-difference equations in polynomial in function tanh are included in these solutions. This implies that the proposed method is more powerful than the one introduced by Baldwin et al. The results obtained in this paper show the validity of the proposal.
