摘要
We apply functional separation of variables within the approach of the group foliation method to the nonlinear wave equation with variable speed and external force: u(tt) = A(x)(D(u)u(x))(x) + B(x) Q(u), A(x) not equal 0. A classification of these equations admitting functionally separable solutions is performed and the resulting solutions are obtained in explicit form in many cases. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
