We studied traveling-wave solutions of the Dullin–Gottwald–Holm (DGH) equation via a sub-ODE construction. Under explicit algebraic constraints, the approach yielded closed-form families—bell-shaped, hyperbolic (sech/tanh), Jacobi-elliptic function (JEF), Weierstrass-elliptic function (WEF), periodic, and rational—and classified their symmetry properties. Optical solitons (bright and dark) arose as limiting cases of the elliptic solutions. We specified the parameter regimes that produced each profile and illustrated representative solutions with 2D/3D plots to highlight symmetry. The results provide a unified, reproducible procedure for generating solitary and periodic DGH waves and expand the catalog of exact solutions for this model.
