Solitons, Peakons, and Periodic Cuspons of a Generalized Degasperis-Procesi Equation

We employ the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems to investigate the exact travelling wave solutions of a generalized Degasperis-Procesi equation ut−uxxt+4uux+γ(u−uxx)x=3uxuxx+uuxxx. The implicit expression of smooth soliton solutions is given. The explicit expressions of peaked soliton s...
