Abundant types of Jacobi elliptic function solutions are obtained by choosing different coefficients p, q and r in the elliptic equation. Then these solutions are coupled into an auxiliary equation and substituted into the (2+1)-dimensional KDV equation. As a result, a large number of complex Jacobi elliptic function solutions are obtained, and many of them have not been found in other documents. As , some complex solitary solutions are also obtained correspondingly. These solutions that we obtained in this paper will be helpful to understand the physics of the (2+1)-dimensional KDV equation. %K Nonlinear Evolution Equations %K Jacobi Elliptic Function %K (2+1)-Dimensional KDV %K Periodic Wave Solutions %K Solitary Wave Solu-tions %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=114377
