Abstract It is difficult to obtain exact solutions of the nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) due to the complexity and nonlinearity, especially for non-integrable systems. In this paper, some reasonable approximations of real physics are considered, and the invariant expansion is proposed to solve real nonlinear system. A simple invariant expansion with quite a universal pseudopotential is used for some nonlinear PDEs such as Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with fifth-order dispersion term, perturbed fourth-order KdV equation, KdV-Burgers equation, and Boussinesq type of equation.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
