Abstract

The homogeneous balance method is extended and applied to a class of variable-coefficient "reaction-duffing" equations, and a Bäcklund transformation (BT) is obtained. Based on the BT, a nonlocal symmetry and several families of exact solutions of this equation are obtained, including soliton solutions that have important physical significance. The Fitzhugh-Nagtuno and Chaffee-Infante equations are also considered as special cases.
