Abstract
An irrational trial equation method was proposed to solve nonlinear differential equations. By this method, a number of exact travelling wave solutions to the Burgers-KdV equation and the dissipative double sine-Gordon equation were obtained. A more general irrational trial equation method was discussed, and many exact solutions to the Fujimoto-Watanabe equation were given.
