Generalized separation of variables and exact solutions of nonlinear equations

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We consider a generalized procedure of separation of variables in nonlinear hyperbolic-type equations and Korteweg–de-Vries-type equations. We construct a broad class of exact solutions of these equations that cannot be obtained by the Lie method and method of conditional symmetries.
