Abstract
In the present study, we are concerned with the generalized Boussinesq equation including the singular sixth-order Boussinesq equation, which describes the bi-directional propagation of small amplitude and long capillary-gravity waves on the surface of shallow water for bond number less than but very close to 1/3. By using the extended auxiliary equation method, we obtained some new soliton like solutions for the two-dimensional sixth-order nonlinear Boussinesq equation with constant coefficients. These solutions include symmetrical, non-symmetrical kink solutions, solitary pattern solutions, Jacobi and Weierstrass elliptic function solutions and triangular function solutions. The stability analysis for these solutions is discussed. (C) 2017 The Physical Society of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
