Rational solutions of the Boussinesq equation are expressed in terms of special polynomials associated with rational solutions of the second and fourth Painlevé equations, which arise as symmetry reductions of the Boussinesq equation. Further generalized rational solutions of the Boussinesq equation, which involve an infinite number of arbitrary constants, are derived. The generalized rational solutions are analogs of such solutions for the Korteweg–de Vries and nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
