We have obtained exact solutions of some non-linear partial differential equations by a new iteration method that was proposed by Blender. As examples, solitary wave solutions of the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation, Joseph-Egra equation, coupled K-dV equations and of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation have been obtained. For the K(2, 2) equation, recently suggested by Rosenau and Hyman (which give compactons: solitons of finite wavelength), a new type of periodic wave solutions has been found.
