Abstract

The Burgers equation, KdV equation and Burgers-KdV equation are real physical mode equations concerning many branches in physics. In this paper, by introducing a new transformation and applying the trial-function method to these three equations, a series of more general explicit and exact travelling wave solutions to them, which include the solitary wave solutions, the singular travelling-wave solutions, and the triangle-function periodic wave solutions, are presented. Among them, some are new travelling-wave solutions.

Keywords

nonlinear wave equation; trial function; solitary wave solution; singular travelling wave solution; triangle function solution
