  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We determine ansätzes that reduce the equation \( {u}_{tt}=a(t){uu}_{xx}+b(t){u}_x^2+c(t)u \) to a system of two ordinary differential equations. It is also shown that the problem of construction of exact solutions of this equation of the form u = μ1(t)x2 + μ2(t)xα, αR, reduces to the integration of a system of linear equations \( {\mu}_1^{{\prime\prime} }={\Phi}_1(t){\mu}_1,{\mu}_2^{{\prime\prime} }={\Phi}_2(t){\mu}_2, \) where Φ1(t) and Φ2(t) are arbitrary given functions.
