Superposition solutions to the extended KdV equation for water surface waves

The KdV equation can be derived in the shallow water limit of the Euler equations. Over the last few decades, this equation has been extended to include higher order effects. Although this equation has only one conservation law, exact periodic and solitonic solutions exist. Khare and Saxena \cite{KhSa,KhSa14,KhSa15} demonstrated the possibility of generating new exact solutions by combining known ones for several fundamental equations (e.g., Korteweg - de Vries, Nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger). Here we find that this construction can be repeated for higher order, non-integrable extensions of these equations. Contrary to many statements in the literature, there seems to be no correlation between integrability and the number of nonlinear one variable wave solutions.
