1. Introduction
Exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations NNPDEs play an important role in nonlinear science, especially in nonlinear physical science since they can provide much physical information and more insight into the physical aspects of the problem and thus lead to further applications. Large varieties of physical, chemical, and biological phenomena are governed by nonlinear partial differential equations. One of the most exciting advances of nonlinear science and theoretical physics has been the development of methods to look for exact solutions of nonlinear partialdifferential equations [1]. In recent years, quite a few methods for obtaining explicit traveling and solitary wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations have been proposed. A variety of powerful methods, such as, tanh-sech method [2, 3, 4], extended tanh method [5, 6, 7], hyperbolic function method [8, 9], Jacobi elliptic function expansion method [10], F-expansion method [11], and the First Integral method [12, 13]. The sine-cosine method [3, 14, 15] has been used to solve different types of nonlinear systems of PDEs.
In this paper, we applied the Tan-Cot method to solve (2+1)-Dimensional Bogoyavlenskii system, Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky coupled system, and the coupled nonlinear evolution equations given respectively by:
 | (1) |
 | (2) |
and
 | (3) |
 | (4) |
and
 | (5) |
 | (6) |
eqs (1)-(6): indicate that a is scalar.
2. The Tan-Cot Function Method
Consider the nonlinear partial differential equation in the form
 | (7) |
where u(x, y, t) is a traveling wave solution of nonlinear partial differential equation Eq. (7). We use the transformations,
 | (8) |
Where
 | (9) |
This enables us to use the following changes:
 | (10) |
Using Eq. (10) to transfer the nonlinear partial differential equation Eq. (7) to nonlinear ordinary differential equation
 | (11) |
The ordinary differential equation (11) is then integrated as long as all terms contain derivatives, where we neglect the integration constants. The solutions of many nonlinear equations can be expressed in the form:
 | (12) |
and their derivatives. Or use
 | (13) |
and so on.
Where α, μ, and β are parameters to be determined, μ and λ are the wave number and the wave speed, respectively. We substitute Eq.(12) or Eq. (13) into the reduced equation Eq.(10), balance the terms of the tan functions when Eq. (12) are used, or balance the terms of the cot functions when Eq. (13) are used, and solve the resulting system of algebraic equations by using computerized symbolic packages. We next collect all terms with the same power in
or
and set to zero their coefficients to get a system of algebraic equations among the unknown's α, μ and β, and solve the subsequent system.

1. The Exact solutions for the Bogoyavlenskii equation are studied by Peng et al. [14] Using the traveling wave method and the singular manifold method. Results by the tan-cot method in Eq.(20), and Eq.(21) are compatible to the results calculated by Peng et al. [14].

5. Conclusion
In this paper, the Tan-Cotfunction method has been successfully implemented to establish new solitary wave solutions for various types of nonlinear PDEs. We can say that the new method can be extended to solve the problems of nonlinear partial differential equations which arising in the theory of solitons and other areas.
