New traveling waves solutions to generalized Kaup-Kupershmidt and Ito equations

In this paper we consider a special fifth-order KdV equation with constant coefficients and we obtain traveling wave solutions for it, using the projective Riccati equation method. By mean of a scaling, exact solutions to general Kaup–Kupershmidt (KK) equation are obtained. As a particular case, exact solutions to standard KK equation can be derived. Using the same method, we obtain exact solutions to standard Ito equation. By mean of scaling, new exact solutions to general Ito equation are formally derived. 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
