摘要

In this paper, an extended simplest equation method is proposed to seek exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. As applications, many new exact travelling wave solutions for several forms of the fifth-order KdV equation are obtained by using our method. The forms include the Lax, Sawada-Kotera, Sawada-Kotera-Parker-Dye, Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon, Kaup-Kupershmidt, Kaup-Kupershmidt-Parker-Dye, and the Ito forms.
