ABSTRACT: The mathematical models of problems that arise in many branches of science are nonlinear equations of evolution (NLEE). For this reason, nonlinear equations of evolution have served as a language in formulating many engineering and scientific problems. Although the origin of nonlinear evolution equations dates back to ancient times, significant developments have been made in these equations up to the present day. The main reason for this situation is that nonlinear equations of evolution involve the problem of nonlinear wave propagation. Therefore, many different and effective techniques have been developed regarding nonlinear evolution equations and solution methods. Studies conducted in recent years show that evolution equations are becoming increasingly important in applied mathematics. This study is about the multiple scales methods, known as the perturbation method, for nonlinear equations of evolution (NLEE). In this report, the multiple scales method was applied for the analysis of the (1 + 1) dimensional higher order nonlinear Sawada-Kotera (SK) equations, and the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation was obtained. Also, the approximate solution of the (1 + 1) dimensional higher-order nonlinear Sawada-Kotera (SK) equation is obtained.
