We construct the traveling wave solutions of the 11-dimensional modified Benjamin-Bona- Mahony equation, the 21-dimensional typical breaking soliton equation, the 11-dimensional classical Boussinesq equations, and the 21-dimensional Broer-Kaup-Kuperschmidt equations by using an extended G /G-expansion method, where G satisfies the second-order linear ordinary differential equation. By using this method, new exact solutions involving parameters, expressed by three types of functions which are hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational function solutions, are obtained. When the parameters are taken as special values, some solitary wave solutions are derived from the hyperbolic function solutions. 1.
