This study aimed to investigate the traveling solutions of the Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi (CH-DP) equation. By using the qualitative theory of dynamical systems and integrating along special phase orbits, we present exact explicit expressions of compacton and generalized kink wave solutions to the CH-DP equation. Our results will enrich the previous literature and help to understand the propagation of nonlinear waves.
