The generalized variable-coefficient Korteveg de Vries equation is investigated by means of the polynomial expansion method and many travelling-wave solutions are constructed, including the solitary wave, the triangular periodic wave and the rational solutions. The technique is straightforward to use and only minimal algebra is needed to find these solutions. A simple review of the method is finally given.
