V.AbstractTwo new methods for obtaining exact solutions of the initial-value problem on an unbounded straight line (the Cauchy problem) for the inhomogeneous Burgers equation are considered. They are applied to the cases of a stationary and a transient external force. A self-similar solution and a solution which describes the localization (blocking) of solitary traveling waves are obtained as examples. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.SubjectsBURGERS' equation; INITIAL value problemsPublicationTechnical Physics, 1999, Vol 44, Issue 8, p878ISSN1063-7842Publication typeArticleDOI10.1134/1.1259398
