Coupled nonlinear partial differential equations describing the spatio-temporal dynamics of predator–prey systems and nonlinear telegraph equations have been widely applied in many real world problems. So, finding exact solutions of such equations is very helpful in the theories and numerical studies. In this paper, the Kudryashov method is implemented to obtain exact travelling wave solutions of such physical models. Further, graphic illustrations in two and three dimensional plots of some of the obtained solutions are also given to predict their behaviour. The results reveal that the Kudryashov method is very simple, reliable, and effective, and can be used for finding exact solution of many other nonlinear evolution equations.
Key words: Exact Travelling Wave Solutions; Nonlinear Physical Models; Homogeneous Balance; Kudryashov Method.
