Abstract

We show that a fifth order KdV-type equation admits several real as well as complex parity-time reversal or PT-invariant solutions with linear superposition of quadratic functions involving Jacobi elliptic functions of the form dn2(x,m){\rm dn}^2(x,m), cn(x,m)dn(x,m){\rm cn}(x,m){\rm dn}(x,m), sn(x,m)cn(x,m){\rm sn}(x,m) {\rm cn}(x,m) and sn(x,m)dn(x,m){\rm sn}(x,m){\rm dn}(x,m). These results must be contrasted with only partial superposition of such functions in Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), ϕ3\phi^3 and a few other nonlinear equations.
