Abstract

In this paper, we use the bifurcation method of dynamical systems to investigate the nonlinear wave solutions of the modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation. These nonlinear wave solutions contain periodic wave solutions, solitary wave solutions, periodic blow-up wave solutions, kink wave solutions, unbounded wave solutions and blow-up wave solutions. Some previous results are extended.
