<abstract><p>In this article, we investigate existence and the exact solutions of the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov (EFK) equation. This equation is used in the population growth dynamics and wave propagation. The fourth-order term in this model describes the phase transitions near critical points which are also known as Lipschitz points. He's variational method is adopted to construct the soliton solutions as well as the periodic wave solutions successfully for the extended (higher-order) EFK equation. This approach is simple and has the greatest advantages because it can reduce the order of our equation and make the equation more simple. So, the results that are obtained by this approach are very simple and straightforward. The graphics behavior of these solutions are also sketched in 3D, 2D, and corresponding contour representations by the different choices of parameters.</p></abstract>
