The homogeneous balance of undetermined coefficients method and its application (Q350320)

By using the homogeneous balance of undetermined coefficients method, the authors investigate the exact solutions of the Eckhaus equation. Moreover, the authors choose the KdV equation \(u_t +uu_x + \delta u_{xxx} =0\) and the generalized Boussinesq equation \(u_{tt} + 2 \alpha u_{xt} +(\alpha^2 + \beta)u_{xx} +\gamma uu_{xx} + \delta u_{xxxx}= 0\) where \(\delta\), \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) and \(\gamma \) are known constants, as examples to illustrate the method.
