Wronskian representations of the solutions to the Burgers’ equation
Abstract
A representation of the solutions to the Burgers’ equation by the Wronskiens is given. For this, we use particular polynomials and we obtain a very efficient method to construct solutions to this equation. We deduce rational solutions from the latter equation. We explicitly build solutions for first orders.
