Abstract
The KdV equation can be derived in the shallow water limit of the Euler equations. Over the last few decades, this equation has been extended to include higher-order effects. Although this equation has only one conservation law, exact periodic and solitonic solutions exist. Khare and Saxena (Phys Lett A 377:2761–2765, 2013; J Math Phys 55:032701, 2014; J Math Phys 56:032104, 2015) demonstrated the possibility of generating new exact solutions by combining known ones for several fundamental equations (e.g., Korteweg–de Vries, nonlinear Schrödinger). Here we find that this construction can be repeated for higher-order, non-integrable extensions of these equations. Contrary to many statements in the literature, there seems to be no correlation between integrability and the number of nonlinear one variable wave solutions.
