Abstract. In this paper, we study the Zufiria's higher-order Boussinesq type equation with generalized coefficients from the point of view of its exact solutions. The improved tanh-coth method is used with the aim to obtain periodic and soliton solutions to the mentioned equation. The solutions obtained here are in a more general form from those obtained by authors of other works. We will see that the solutions for some particular cases can be derived from the obtained here.
