Conditional Lie-Bcklund Symmetry and New Variable Separation Solutions of the Third Order KdV-Type Equations

The functionally generalized variable separation solutions of a general KdV-type equations u_t=u_(xxx) +A(u, u_x)u_(xx) + B(u, u_x) are investigated by developing the conditional Lie-Backlund symmetry method. A complete classification of the considered equations, which admit multi-dimensional invariant subspaces governed by higher-order conditional Lie-B¨acklund symmetries, is presented. As a result, several concrete examples are provided to construct functionally generalized variable separation solutions of some resulting equations.
