| Abstract: | 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: utt=A(x)(Dx(u)ux)+B(x)Q(u), Ax≠0. A classification of these equations admitting functionally separable solutions is performed and the resulting solutions are obtained in explicit form in many cases. |
