The smooth and nonsmooth travelling wave solutions in a nonlinear wave equation. (Q1596434)

This paper is devoted to the travelling wave solutions (TWS) for a class of PDE. Travelling wave for this PDE is a planar cubic polynomial system in three--parameter space. Using the theory of planar dynamical systems, the author obtains all topological classifications of the cubic polynomial system. Based on the results of the phase plane analysis to TWS, the author gives all conditions of existence of smooth and nonsmooth travelling waves.
