Abstract
We make use of an extended tanh-function method and symbolic computation to obtain respectively four kinds of soliton
solutions for a new generalized HirotaSatsuma coupled KdV equation and a new coupled MKdV equation, which were
introduced recently by Wu et al. (Phys. Lett. A 255 (1999) 259). 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction
Recently, by introducing a 4 4 matrix spectral
problem with three potentials, Wu et al. derived a
new hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations [1].
Two typical equations in the hierarchy are a new
generalized HirotaSatsuma coupled KdV equation

Remark. We have found four kinds of soliton solutions for the new generalized HirotaSatsuma coupled
KdV equation (1) and the new coupled KdV equation (2) by using a Riccati equation and symbolic computation. Two kinds of them are singular soliton solutions. Such solutions develop a singularity at a finite
point, i.e., for any fixed t = t0 , there exist x0 at which
these solutions blow up. There is much current interest
in the formation of so-called hot spots or blow up
of solutions [810]. It appears that these singular solutions will model this physical phenomena. The method
used in this Letter has some merits in contrast with the
tanh-function method. It not only uses a more simple
algorithm to produce an algebraic system but also can
pick up singular soliton solutions with no extra effort.
In addition, this method is also computerizable, which
allow us to perform complicated and tedious algebraic
calculation on a computer.
