文摘In a recent article [Physics Letters A 372 (2008) 417], Wang et al. proposed a method, which is called the (G′/G)-expansion method, to look for travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The travelling wave solutions involving parameters of the KdV equation, the mKdV equation, the variant Boussinesq equations, and the Hirota-Satsuma equations are obtained by using this method.
