摘要
In a recent article [Commun. Theor. Phys. (Beijing, China) 43 (2005) 39], Xie et al. improved the extended tanh function method by introducing a generalized Riccati equation and its new solutions. Then they choose the Karamoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation to illustrate their approach and obtain many exact solutions of the KS equation.So they claim that, by using their method, one not only can successfully recover the previously known formal solutions but also construct new and more general formal solutions for some nonlinear evolution equations. In this comment, we will show that the claim is incorrect.
