Abstract

The generalized magma equation, in which dispersion and nonlinearity are coupled together in a manner reminiscent of the Harry-Dym equation, is solved to indicate both periodic and aperiodic implicit solitary wave solutions. It is argued that the presence of an additional spatial derivative in the magma equation also permits explicit solitary wave solutions, a feature not shared by the Harry-Dym equation.
