  The modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation with the initial value problem is studied numerically by means of homotopy perturbation method. The analytical approximate solutions of the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation are obtained. Choosing the form of the initial value, the single solitary wave, two solitary waves and rational solutions are presented, some of which are shown by the plots.

Introduction</title><p>Partial differential equations widely describe many phenomena in the world. Although many mathematicians and physicists presented various methods to find the explicit solutions of the partial differential equations, it is a difficult and important task to build the solutions of initial and boundary value problem. Recently, homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been applied into many problems [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref1">1</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref10">10</xref>] and tested to be an effective tool. Here, the initial value problem of the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (mZK) equation is studied by using HPM.</p><p>The initial value problem of mZK equation is as following:</p><p>{ u t + u 2 u x + u x x x + u x y y = 0 , u ( x , y , 0 ) = f ( x , y ) . (1)</p><p>Many authors have studied the mZK equation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref11">11</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref16">16</xref>] . The authors in Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref11">11</xref>] applied the asymptotic approach into mZK equation and found for the mZK equation that critical collapse in two dimensions is accompanied by damping both the momentum and energy of the perturbed solitary waves and that slows down the rate of the singularity formation. Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref12">12</xref>] considered the two-dimensional solitary wave (lump) interactions and the formation of singularities in mZK equation. Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref13">13</xref>] obtained a class of approximate periodic solutions for mZK equation by using the homotopy analysis method. The authors in Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref14">14</xref>] obtained many solitary waves and periodic waves and kink waves of mZK equation by using the theory of bifurcations of dynamical systems. Uisng the extended tanh method, Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref15">15</xref>] got new travelling wave solutions with solitons and periodic structures. In Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref16">16</xref>] , the first integral method was used to construct travelling wave solutions of mZK equation. Peng [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref17">17</xref>] developed the extended mapping method to study the traveling wave solution for the mZK equation. Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref18">18</xref>] applied the exp-function method to construct generalized solitary and periodic solutions of mZK equation. Authors in Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref19">19</xref>] applied the improved (G'/G)-expansion method to construct abundant new exact traveling wave solutions of mZK equation. Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84500-ref20">20</xref>] employed the complex method to obtain the exact solutions of mZK equation.</p><p>This paper is arranged as follows: In Section 2, by using HPM, we obtain the analytical approximate solution of Equation (1). By taking the form of the initial value, some exact solutions of mZK equation are obtained in Section 3. And some pictures are given to show the structure of the obtained solutions. Finally, some conclusions and discussions are given in Section 4.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Conclusion</title><p>In summary, we successfully apply homotopy perturbation method to the mZK equation with the initial value problem and obtain the analytical approximate solution of the mZK equation. Using the form of the initial value, the single solitary wave, two solitary waves and rational solutions of the mZK are obtained. Here, we get the two-soliton solution without using bilinear forms, Wronskian. In our later works, we will focus on the form of the initial value that can create the two solitary waves solutions.</p></sec><sec id="s5"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant No. 11305048, the Science and Technology Research Key Project of Education Department of Henan Province under Grant No. 13A110329, the Basic and Frontier Research Program of Henan Province under Grant No. 132300410223, the Doctor Foundation of Henan Polytechnic University under Grant No. B2011-006, and the Key Teacher Foundation of Henan Polytechnic University (Grant 2014).</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Dong, Z.Z. and Wang, L.
