Abstract

One, two and three soliton solutions are formally derived for a generalized version of the sixth-order KdV equation (KdV6) by using the Cole-Hopf transform. A comparison with particular cases of recently discovered completely integrable KdV6 equations are considered to illustrate the results obtained.
