Solitary wave solution for the generalized KdV equation with time-dependent damping and dispersion

The solitary wave solution of the generalized KdV equation is obtained in this paper in presence of time-dependent damping and dispersion. The approach is from a solitary wave ansatze that leads to the exact solution. A particular example is also considered to complete the analysis. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
