Abstract
The variable-coefficient generalizations of thecelebrated KP equation (GvcKPs) are realistic models forvarious physical and engineering situations. In thisnote, the application of symbolic computation and the truncated Painleve expansion leads toan auto-Backlund transformation and soliton-typedsolutions to a type of the GvcKPs.
