A simple transformation for nonlinear waves. (English) Zbl 1037.35504
Summary: A transformation method is proposed to establish a relation between linear and nonlinear wave theories. We show that this transformation can be obtained from the sine-Gordon equation. This new method is simpler than the hyperbolic tangent method in solving differential equations and can be used to get more solutions to a wide class of nonlinear wave equations.
