Partially invariant solutions of nonlinear Klein–Gordon and Laplace equations

The concept of partially invariant solutions is discussed in the framework of the group analysis of systems of partial differential equations. Using a general and systematic approach based on subgroup classification methods, nontrivial partially invariant solutions for specific equations are explicitly obtained, belonging to the NLKGE and NLLE classes in two dimensions. It is proven that the obtained partially invariant solutions are distinct from the invariant ones and from solutions obtained by other methods of reducing PDEs to ODEs.
