The functionally separable solutions of the generalized inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion equations are studied by applying the conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetry method. A complete list of canonical forms for such equations are presented. Exact solutions to the resulting equations are...

The second-order conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries of nonlinear diffusion equations with variable coefficients are studied. A number of examples are considered and some exact solutions are constructed via the compatibility of conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries and the governing...

We devote this work to investigate the solutions of a generalized diffusion equation which contains spatial fractional derivatives and nonlinear terms. The presence of external forces and absorbent terms is also considered. The solutions found here can have a compact or long tail behavior and,...

We analyse a N-dimensional anisotropic nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation by considering stationary and time-dependent solutions. The stationary solutions are obtained for very general situations, including those when the diffusion coefficients are spatial dependents. Time-dependent solutions...

We investigate the solutions of a generalized diffusion equation which extends some known equations such as the fractional diffusion equation and the porous medium equation. We start our study by considering the linear case and the nonlinear case afterward. The linear case is analyzed taking...
