The method is constructive and can be carried out in a computer with the aid of a computer algebra system. The obtained generalized solitary wave solutions contain more arbitrary parameters compared with the earlier works, and thus, they are wider. This means that our method is effective and powerful for constructing exact and explicit analytic solutions to nonlinear PDEs.
