Description

This paper gives two new families of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). One has cusp soliton solution while the other possesses the cusp-like singular traveling wave solution. A typical integrable system: Harry-Dym (HD) equation is able to be contained in both families and has cusp soliton solution as well as cusp-like singular traveling wave solution. We prove that the cusp solution of the HD equation is not stable and the cusp-like solution is not included in the parametric solutions of the HD equation
