Be careful with the Exp-function method

An application of the Exp-function method to search for exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations is analyzed. Typical mistakes of application of the Exp-function method are demonstrated. We show it is often required to simplify the exact solutions obtained. Possibilities of the Exp-function method and other approaches in mathematical physics are discussed. The application of the singular manifold method for finding exact solutions of the Fitzhugh - Nagumo equation is illustrated. The modified simple equation method is introduced. This approach is used to look for exact solutions of the generalized Korteweg - de Vries equation.
