摘要
In this work, the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and the Kawahara equation are studied. The tanh method and the extended tanh method are used for analytic treatment for these two equations. By means of these methods, new solitary wave solutions are determined for each equation. The two approaches are reliable and manageable. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
