A GENERAL SUB-EQUATION METHOD TO THE BURGERS-LIKE EQUATION

ABSTRACT
A Burgers-like equation is studied by a general sub-equation method, and some new exact solutions are obtained, which include the traveling wave solutions, non-traveling wave solutions, multi-soliton solutions, rational solutions, and other types of solutions. The obtained results are important in thermal science, and potential applications can be found.
