Exact solutions to the combined KdV and mKdV equation

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents two different methods for the construction of exact solutions to the combined KdV and mKdV equation. The first method is a direct one based on a general form of solution to both the KdV and the modified KdV (mKdV) equations. The second method is a leading order analysis method. The method was devised by Jeffrey and Xu. Each of these methods is capable of solving the combined KdV and mKdV equation exactly.
