Some new travelling wave solutions with singular or nonsingular character for the higher order wave equation of KdV type (III)

In this paper, the integral bifurcation method was used to study the higher order nonlinear wave equations of KdV type (III), which was first proposed by Fokas. Some new travelling wave solutions with singular or nonsingular character are obtained. In particular, we obtain a peculiar exact solution of parametric type in this paper. This one peculiar exact solution has three kinds of wave-form including solitary wave, cusp wave and loop solion under different wave velocity conditions. This phenomenon has proved that the loop soliton solution is one continuous solution, not three breaking solutions though the loop soliton solution "is not in agreement with the Poincare phase analysis".
