The study gives a brief overview of existing modifications of the method of functional separation of variables for nonlinear PDEs. It proposes a more general approach to the construction of exact solutions to nonlinear equations of applied mathematics and mathematical physics, based on a special transformation with an integral term and the generalized splitting principle. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated by nonlinear diffusion-type equations that contain reaction and convective terms with variable coefficients. The focus is on equations of a fairly general form that depend on one, two or three arbitrary functions (such nonlinear PDEs are most difficult to analyze and find exact solutions). A lot of new functional separable solutions and generalized traveling wave solutions are described (more than 30 exact solutions have been presented in total). It is shown that the method of functional separation of variables can, in certain cases, be more effective than (i) the nonclassical method of symmetry reductions based on an invariant surface condition, and (ii) the method of differential constraints based on a single differential constraint. The exact solutions obtained can be used to test various numerical and approximate analytical methods of mathematical physics and mechanics.

The paper shows that, in looking for exact solutions to nonlinear PDEs, the direct method of functional separation of variables can, in certain cases, be more effective than the method of differential constraints based on the compatibility analysis of PDEs with a single constraint (or the nonclassical method of symmetry reductions based on an invariant surface condition). This fact is illustrated by examples of nonlinear reaction-diffusion and convection-diffusion equations with variable coefficients, and nonlinear Klein–Gordon-type equations. Hydrodynamic boundary layer equations, nonlinear Schrödinger type equations, and a few third-order PDEs are also investigated. Several new exact functional separable solutions are given. A possibility of increasing the efficiency of the Clarkson–Kruskal direct method is discussed. A generalization of the direct method of the functional separation of variables is also described. Note that all nonlinear PDEs considered in the paper include one or several arbitrary functions.

The study describes a new modification of the method of functional separation of variables for nonlinear equations of mathematical physics. Solutions are sought in an implicit form that involves several free functions; the specific expressions of these functions are determined in the subsequent analysis of the arising functional differential equations. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated by examples of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations and Klein-Gordon type equations with variable coefficients that depend on one or more arbitrary functions. A number of new exact functional separable solutions and generalized traveling-wave solutions are obtained.

A new method for constructing exact solutions of nonlinear equations of mathematical physics, which is based on nonlinear integral type transformations in combination with the splitting principle, is proposed. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated on nonlinear equations of the reaction-diffusion type, which depend on two or three arbitrary functions. New exact functional separable solutions and generalized traveling wave solutions are described.

We apply the generalized projective Riccati equations method with the aid of Maple software to construct many new soliton and periodic solutions with parameters for two higher-order nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), namely, the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with fourth-order dispersion and dual power law nonlinearity and the nonlinear quantum Zakharov-Kuznetsov (QZK) equation. The obtained exact solutions include kink and antikink solitons, bell (bright) and antibell (dark) solitary wave solutions, and periodic solutions. The given nonlinear PDEs have been derived and can be reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using a simple transformation. A comparison of our new results with the well-known results is made. Also, we drew some graphs of the exact solutions using Maple. The given method in this article is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear PDEs in mathematical physics.

We employ the complex method to obtain all meromorphic exact solutions of complex Drinfeld-Sokolov equations (DS system of equations). The idea introduced in this paper can be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations. Our results show that all constant and simply periodic traveling wave exact solutions of the equations (DS) are solitary wave solutions, the complex method is simpler than other methods and there exist simply periodic solutionsvs,3(z)which are not only new but also not degenerated successively by the elliptic function solutions. We believe that this method should play an important role for finding exact solutions in the mathematical physics. For these new traveling wave solutions, we give some computer simulations to illustrate our main results.

In this paper, the -expansion method has been applied to find the new exact traveling wave solutions of the nonlinear evaluation equations (NLEEs) by utilizing 3rd-order Klein–Gordon Equation (KFGE). With the collaboration of symbolic commercial software maple, the competence of this method for inventing these exact solutions has been more exhibited. As an upshot, some new exact solutions are obtained and signified by hyperbolic function solutions, different combinations of trigonometric function solutions, and exponential function solutions. Moreover, the -expansion method is a more efficient method for exploring essential nonlinear waves that enrich a variety of dynamic models that arises in nonlinear fields. All sketching is given out to show the properties of the innovative explicit analytic solutions. Our proposed method is directed, succinct, and reasonably good for the various nonlinear evaluation equations (NLEEs) related treatment and mathematical physics also.
