Abstract

From elementary exponential functions which depend on several parameters, we construct multi-parametric solutions to the Boussinesq equation. When we perform a passage to the limit when one of these para\-meters goes to $0$, we get rational solutions as a quotient of a polynomial of degree $N(N+1)-2$ in $x$ and $t$, by a polynomial of degree $N(N+1)$ in $x$ and $t$ for each positive integer $N$ depending on $3N$ real parameters. We restrict ourself to give the explicit expressions of these rational solutions for $N=1$ until $N=3$ to shortened the paper. We easily deduce the corresponding explicit rational solutions to the Kadomtsev Petviashvili equation for the same orders from $1$ to $3$.
