Abstract

We consider a combined Korteweg-deVries and Boussinesq equation governing long surface waves in shallow water. Considering traveling wave solutions, the basic equations will be reduced to a second order ordinary differential equation. Using the Lie group of transformations we reduce it to a first order ordinary differential equation and employ a direct method to derive its periodic solutions in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions and their corresponding solitary wave and explode decay mode solutions.
