Traveling waves to a Burgers–Korteweg–de Vries-type equation with higher-order nonlinearities

Abstract In this paper, first we survey some recent advances in the study of traveling wave solutions to the Burgers–Korteweg–de Vries equation and some comments are given. Then, we study a Burgers–Korteweg–de Vries-type equation with higher-order nonlinearities. A qualitative analysis to a two-dimensional autonomous system which is equivalent to the Burgers–KdV-type equation is presented, and indicates that under certain conditions, the Burgers–Korteweg–de Vries-type equation has neither nontrivial bell-profile solitary waves, nor periodic waves. Finally, a solitary wave solution is obtained by means of the first-integral method which is based on the ring theory of commutative algebra.
