The result shows the existence of the different kinds of traveling solutions of the generalized $K(n,n)$ equation, including solitary waves, kink waves, periodic wave and compacton solutions, which depend on different parametric ranges. Moreover, various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above traveling solutions are provided under different parameters conditions. \end{abstract} \maketitle \numberwithin{equation}{section} \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section] \newtheorem{proposition}[theorem]{Proposition} \allowdisplaybreaks \section{Introduction} The well-known $K(m,n)$ equation \cite{Rosenau} takes the form \begin{equation}\label{1.10} u_t+a(u^n)_x+(u^m)_{xxx}=0,\quad n>1. \end{equation} which generates the so termed compactons: solitary waves with exact compact support. Compactons are defined as solitons with finite wavelengths or solitons free of exponential tails \cite{Ablowitz, Benjamin, Feng, Hereman, LL2, LS3, LO1, Rosenau, Wadati, Wazwaz1, Yan, Zabusky}. Wazwaz \cite{Wazwaz2} used the $\tanh$ and sine-cosine method to study the generalized $K(n,n)$ equation given by \begin{equation}\label{2.10} u_t+\alpha(u^n)_x+\beta(u^{2n}(u^{-n})_{xx})_x=0,\quad n>1. \end{equation} In this paper, we aim to consider the bifurcation behavior of the traveling wave solutions of equation \eqref{2.10} in the parameter space and obtain bifurcations of traveling solutions under different parameter conditions. Let $u(x,t)=\psi(\xi),\ \xi=x-ct$, where $c$ is wave speed. Substituting the above traveling transformation into equation \eqref{2.10} and integrating once, we have \begin{equation}\label{2.11} n\beta\psi^{n-1}\psi_{\xi\xi}-n(n+1)\beta\psi^{n-2}\psi^2_\xi-\alpha\psi^n+c\psi-g=0, \end{equation} where $g$ is an integral constant. equation \eqref{2.11} is equivalent to the two dimensional system as follows \begin{equation} \label{2.12} \begin{gathered} d\psi/d\xi=y,\\ dy/d\xi =(n(n+1)\psi^{n-2}y^2+\rho(\psi^n-\mu\psi+\nu))/(n\psi^{n-1}),\\ \end{gathered} \end{equation} where $\rho=\alpha/\beta$, $\mu=c/\alpha,\nu=g/\alpha$. And the system \eqref{2.12} has the first integral \begin{equation}\label{3.10} H(\psi,y)=-1/2\psi^{-2(n+1)}y^2-\rho\psi^{-3n}(1/(2n)\psi^n+\mu/(1-3n)\psi+\nu/(3n)) =h. \end{equation} In fact, system \eqref{2.12} is a three-parameter planar dynamical system depending on the parameter group $(\rho,\mu,\nu)$. Because the phase orbits defined by the vector fields of system \eqref{2.12} determine types of traveling wave solutions of equation \eqref{2.10}, we should consider the bifurcations of phase portraits of system \eqref{2.12} in the phase plane $(\psi,y)$ as the parameters $\rho,\mu,\nu$ change. Since only physical models with bounded traveling waves are meaningful, we just focus on the bounded solutions of system \eqref{2.12}. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we discuss bifurcation curves and phase portraits of system \eqref{2.12}. In Section 3, we show the existence of solitary and periodic kink wave and compacton solutions of \eqref{2.10}. In Section 4, we present some exact explicit solutions for \eqref{2.10}. \section{Bifurcation set and phase portraits of system \eqref{2.12}} In this section, we will study all phase portraits and bifurcation set of system \eqref{2.12} in the parameter space. Let $d\xi=n\psi^{n-1}d\omega$. Thus, system \eqref{2.12} becomes \begin{equation} \label{2.20} \begin{gathered} d\psi/d\omega=n\psi^{n-1}y,\\ dy/d\omega=n(n+1)\psi^{n-2}y^2+\rho(\psi^n-\mu\psi+\nu).\\ \end{gathered} \end{equation} Except for the straight line $\psi=0$, systems \eqref{2.12} and \eqref{2.20} have the same first integral as \eqref{3.10}. Note that for a fixed $h$, equation \eqref{3.10} determines a set of invariant curves of system \eqref{2.20}, which contains more different branches of curves. As $h$ changes, \eqref{3.10} defines different families of orbits of system \eqref{2.20} with different dynamical behavior. We assume that $(\psi_i,y_i)$ is an equilibrium point of system \eqref{2.12}. At this point, the determinant of the linearized system of system \eqref{2.20} has the form \begin{equation} J(\psi_i,y_i)=n^3(n+1)\psi^{2n-4}_iy^2_i-n\rho\psi^{n-1}_i(n\psi^{n-1}_i-\mu). \end{equation} By the bifurcation theory of dynamical system \cite{Andronov, Guckenheimer}, we know that if $J(\psi_i,y_i)>0\ (or<0)$ , then equilibrium point $(\psi_i,y_i)$ is a center (or saddle point); if $J(\psi_i,y_i)=0)$ and the Poincare index of $(\psi_i,y_i)$ is zero, then the equilibrium point $(\psi_i,y_i)$ is a cusp point. Denote $h_i=H(\psi_i,y_i)$, $h=H(\psi,y)$ defined by \eqref{3.10}, $M_i(\psi_i,0)$ and $M(\psi,0)$ are equilibrium points of system \eqref{2.12} and $\psi_i<\psi_{i+1}$. $N_\pm(0,\pm1/6\sqrt{-6\rho\nu})$ are the equilibrium points on the straight line $\psi=0$. From the above qualitative analysis, we can obtain the bifurcation curves and phase portraits with the aid of mathematical software Maple. \subsection{Bifurcation set and phase portraits of system \eqref{2.20} when $n=2$} In this case, there are two bifurcation curves on the $(\mu,\nu)$-plane \begin{equation} \label{conslaws} \Pi_1 :\nu=0 , \quad \Pi_2: \nu=\frac{1}{4}\mu^2, \end{equation} which divide the $(\mu,\nu)$-parameter plane into four different subregions (see Figure \ref{fig1}). \begin{figure}[ht] \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{fig1} \end{center} \caption{Bifurcation set and curves of system \eqref{2.20} for $n=2$. Where $\Pi^{\pm}_1=\{(\mu,\nu)|\mu>0(\mu<0),\nu=0\}$, $\Pi^{\pm}_2=\{(\mu,\nu)|\mu>0(\mu<0),\nu=\frac{1}{4}\mu^2\}$, $D_1:0<\Pi^+_1<\nu<\Pi^+_2$, $D_2:\nu>\Pi_2>0$, $D_3: \Pi^-_1<\nu<\Pi^-_2$, $D_4:\nu<\Pi_1$.} \label{fig1} \end{figure} By using the above facts to do qualitative analysis, we obtain the following results. \begin{proposition}\label{prop1} (see Figure \ref{fig2}) Suppose that $\rho>0$. (1) For $(\mu,\nu)\in\Pi^\pm_1$, system \eqref{2.20} has two heteroclinic orbits connecting to the saddle points $ M_1(\psi_1,0)$ and $ O(0,0)$.

(2)For $(\mu,\nu)\in (D_1 \cup D_3)$, system \eqref{2.20} has a homoclinic orbit connecting to the saddle point $ M_2(\psi_2,0)$ (or $M_1(\psi_1,0)$). In addition, there is a family of periodic orbits surrounding the center $M_1(orM_2)$ for $h\in(h_1, h_2)\ (or h\in(h_2, h_1))$. (3) For $(\mu,\nu)\in\Pi^\pm_2$, system \eqref{2.20} has a cusp point. (4) For $(\mu,\nu)\in D_4$, system \eqref{2.20} has four heteroclinic orbits connecting to the saddle points $ M_1(\psi_1,0)$, $ M_2(\psi_2,0)$ and $N_\pm(0,\pm1/6\sqrt{-6\rho\nu})$ respectively. In addition, there are two families of heteroclinic orbits to $ N_\pm(0,\pm1/6\sqrt{-6\rho\nu})$ for $h \in(-\infty, h_1)$. \end{proposition} \begin{proposition}\label{prop2} (see Figure \ref{fig3}).

In addition, there are a family of homoclinic orbits to $O$ and a family of periodic orbits surrounding the center $M_1\ (or M_2)$ respectively for $h\in(h_1, 0)$.

If $H(\psi,0)=h$ (here $M(\psi,0)$ is the saddle point) defined by \eqref{3.10} has a zero $\psi^*$ satisfying $0<\psi<\psi^*$ (or $0>\psi>\psi^*$), there exist a homoclinic orbit connecting to the saddle point $M$ and three heteroclinic orbits connecting to the saddle points $M$ and $ N_\pm(0,\pm1/6\sqrt{-6\rho\nu})$ respectively. Furthermore, there are a family of periodic orbits surrounding the center $M_2\ (or M_1)$ and a family of heteroclinic orbits to $ N_\pm(0,\pm1/6\sqrt{-6\rho\nu})$ for $h\in(h_2, h_1)$ (or $h\in(h_1, h_2)$) respectively.

In addition, there are two families of heteroclinic orbits to $ N_\pm(0,\pm1/6\sqrt{-6\rho\nu})$ for $h\in(-\infty, h_1)$ and $h\in(h_1, 0)$ respectively. (4) For $(\mu,\nu)\in D_4$, system \eqref{2.20} has two centers $M_1$ and $M_2$. When $h\in(h_2, 0)$ (or $h\in(h_1, 0)$, there are two families of periodic orbits surrounding the centers $M_2$ and $M_1$ respectively. \end{proposition} By the above analysis, we have the following phase portraits of system \eqref{2.12} under different parametric conditions shown in figures \ref{fig2} and \ref{fig3}. they are mae with the help of mathematical software Maple. \begin{figure}[htpb] \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.32\textwidth, clip=true]{fig2-1} \includegraphics[width=0.32\textwidth, clip=true]{fig2-2} \includegraphics[width=0.32\textwidth, clip=true]{fig2-3}\\ (1)\hfil (2)\hfil (3)\hfil \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.32\textwidth, clip=true]{fig2-4} \includegraphics[width=0.32\textwidth, clip=true]{fig2-5} \includegraphics[width=0.32\textwidth, clip=true]{fig2-6}\\ (4) \hfil (5) \hfil (6) \hfil \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.32\textwidth, clip=true]{fig2-7}\\ (7) \hfil \end{center} \caption{Phase portraits of \eqref{2.20} when $n=2$ for $\rho>0$.

Obviously, the system \eqref{2.12} has the same orbits as the system \eqref{2.20}, except for $\psi=0$ . The transformation of variables $d\xi=n\psi^{n-1}d\omega$ only derives the difference of the parametric representations of orbits of the systems \eqref{2.12} and \eqref{2.20} when $\psi=0$. If an orbit of \eqref{2.20} has no intersection point with the straight line $\psi=0$, then, it is well defined in \eqref{2.12}. It follows that the profile defined by this orbit on the $(\psi,y)$-plane is smooth. If an orbit of \eqref{2.20} has intersection point with the straight line $\psi=0$, then it is not defined in \eqref{2.12}. It follows that the profile defined by this orbit on the $(\psi,y)$-plane may be non-smooth. According to the previous discussions, we deduce the following conclusions from figures \ref{fig2}, \ref{fig3}, \ref{fig5}, \ref{fig6}, \ref{fig8} and \ref{fig9}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm1} (see figures \ref{fig2} and \ref{fig3}) Suppose that $n=2$.

We denote that $h=H(\psi, 0)$ and $M(\psi, 0)$ are equilibrium points of \eqref{2.12}. 1. The case of $\rho>0$ and $h=0$: (1) When $\nu=0$, corresponding to figures \ref{fig2}(1) and \ref{fig2}(6) respectively, equation \eqref{2.10} has the following compacton solutions \[ u(x, t)=\begin{cases} \frac{4}{5}\mu\cos[\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{\rho}(x-ct)], & |x-ct|<\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\rho}},\\ 0, & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases} \] (2) When $\mu=0$ and $\nu<0$, corresponding to Figure \ref{fig2}(7), equation \eqref{2.10} has the following periodic solutions \[ u(x,t)=\pm\sqrt{\frac{-2\nu}{3}}\sin[\frac{\sqrt{\rho}}{2}(x-ct)]. \] 2.

The obtained results show that equation \eqref{2.10} has infinite many periodic wave, solitary wave, kink wave and compacton solutions under some parameters' conditions. Therefore, the results in this work clearly demonstrate the effect of the purely nonlinear dispersion and the qualitative change made in the genuinely nonlinear phenomenon. \subsection*{Acknowledgements} The authors would like to thank the anonymous referees for their carefully reading of the original manuscript, and for their valuable comments and suggestions for improving the results as well as the exposition of this article.
