Travelling wave solutions of generalized forms of Burgers, Burgers-KdV and Burgers-Huxley equations. (English) Zbl 1078.35109
Summary: Exact travelling wave solutions of generalized forms of Burgers, Burgers-KdV and Burgers-Huxley equations are obtained. The analysis rests mainly on the standard tanh method. The work emphasizes the need for a transformation formula for the case where the parameter $M$ is non-integer.
