β¦ Synopsis
A method is proposed for obtaining the exact solutions of evolutionary equations in the form of a rational function. Invariant manifolds of the equations are used which have the same form of dependence on the required function and its derivatives as the generalized Riccati equations. Using fifth-order Kawahara and Korteweg-de Vries equations as an example, it is shown that their known particular solutions can be obtained using this method. New solutions of a non-linear fifth-order equation, which is encountered when describing long waves on water, are obtained.

For the fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries equation it is demonstrated that the Hamiltonian is bounded from below for fixed momentum. If there exists a solitary wave solution which realizes this minimum, then it is stable with respect to not only small perturbations but also finite ones. The proof is bas
