New exact solutions to breaking soliton equations and Whitham–Broer–Kaup equations

In this paper, by using the improved Riccati equations method, we obtain several types of exact traveling wave solutions of breaking soliton equations and Whitham–Broer–Kaup equations. These explicit exact solutions contain solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions and the combined formal solitary wave solutions. The method employed here can also be applied to solve more nonlinear evolution equations.
