1. Introduction
PDEs have important applications in physics, engineering,
and other applied sciences. ey can describe different
phenomena and processes of real-world problems. One of
theimportantKPDEarisesinthetheoryofmagnetoacoustic
and shallow-water waves. Furthermore, it arises in the
theory of shallow-water waves with surface tension and
magnetoacoustic waves in plasmas. erefore, several ana-
lytical and numerical methods have been established in
literature to investigate the prosed problems of PDEs. For
instance,[1]authorshaveusedthecomparisonmethodfor
thesolutionofthefamousKawaharaequation.Inthesame
line,aprocedurewasdevelopedin[2]fortheexactsolution
of the said problem. Also, authors [3] have computed the
solution of the Kawahara equation by using symbolic
computation.Inthisstudy,weapplyasemianalyticHPMto
solve the fifth-order KPDEs. As in the last several decades’
investigation, traveling-waves solutions for nonlinear
equations played an important role in the study of the
nonlinearphysicalphenomenon[4].ementionedmethod

eKPDEwasfirstsuggestedbyKawahara[5]in1972.Since
thesenonlinearequationsneedtobesolvedbyusingsome
approximate methods, researchers have solved several
nonlinear problems by using HPM. is method was first
proposed by He [6] and has been applied in [7] for the
solution of differential equations and integral equations in
both linear and nonlinear cases. e said method is a
combination of topological homotopy and traditional per-
turbation methods. e advantage of this method is to
