TY - JOUR TI - Rational solution to a shallow water wave-like equation AU - Ma Hong-Cai AU - Ni Ke AU - Ruan Guo-Ding AU - Deng Ai-Ping JN - Thermal Science PY - 2016 VL - 20 IS - 3 SP - 875 EP - 880 PT - Article AB - Two classes of rational solutions to a shallow water wave-like non-linear differential equation are constructed. The basic object is a generalized bilinear differential equation based on a prime number, p = 3. Through this new transformation and with the help of symbolic computation with MAPLE, both the new equation and its rational solutions are obtained.
