These solutions are shown to consist of: bright solitary waves and static humps on a non-zero background for odd p; dark solitary waves on a non-zero background and kink (shock) waves for even p in the defocusing case; pairs of bright/dark solitary waves on a non-zero background, and also bright and dark heavy-tail waves (with power decay) on a non-zero background, for even p in the focussing case.An explicit physical parameterization is given for each type of solution in terms of the wave speed c, background size b, and wave height/depth h. The allowed kinematic region for existence of the solutions is derived, and other main kinematic features are discussed. Analytical formulas are presented in the higher power cases p = 3, 4, which are compared to the integrable cases p = 1, 2.}, publisher = {IOP Publishing}, keywords = {solitary wave}, keywords = {non-zero background}, keywords = {heavy tail wave}, keywords = {exact solution}, keywords = {generalized KdV equation}, title = {Travelling wave solutions on a non-zero background for the generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation}, doi = {10.1088/1751-8121/abda77}, author = {Anco, Stephen C. and Nayeri, HamidReza and Recio Rodríguez, Elena}, }
