Abstract
In this paper, based on the careful analysis of the features of the Burgers equation and the KdV equation as well as the Burgers-KdV equation, the superposition approach which is commonly believed to simplify work for linear partial differential equations is proposed to construct the solutions to the Burgers-KdV equation. Moreover, the exact analytical solutions to the Burgers-KdV equation are successfully derived by means of this method. The results obtained herein are in very good agreement with those given in the existing literature.
