Abstract
In this paper, an extended tanh method with computerized symbolic computation is used for constructing the traveling wave solutions of coupled nonlinear equations arising in physics. The obtained solutions include solitons, kinks, and plane periodic solutions. The applied method will be used in further works to establish more entirely new solutions for other kinds of nonlinear evolution equations arising in physics.
