On Weierstrass elliptic function solutions for a (N+1) dimensional potential KdV equation

This paper is concerned with several aspects of travelling wave solutions for a (N+1) dimensional potential KdV equation. The Weierstrass elliptic function solutions, the Jaccobi elliptic function solutions, solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions to the equation are acquired under certain circumstances. It is shown that the coefficients of derivative terms in the equation cause the qualitative changes of physical structures of the solutions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
