By utilizing the transformation given in our article Fizika A 14
(2005) 233 and introducing an intermediate function f(y), a direct approach is
presented to solve the Burgers equation which does not require introducing the
trial function. Based on it, abundant types of explicit exact solutions of the
Burgers equation, including the solitary wave solutions, the singular traveling
wave solutions, the triangle function periodic wave solutions, the rational
solution etc., are successfully derived.
