Exact solitary wave solutions for a generalized KdV–Burgers equation

Abstract Using the special truncated expansion method, the solitary wave solutions are constructed for the compound Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (KdVB) equation. Exact and explicit solitary wave solutions for a generalized KdVB equation are obtained by introducing a suitable ansatz equation. The generalized two-dimensional KdVB equation is discussed. Some particular cases of the generalized KdVB equation are solved by using these methods.
