Abstract
Lie symmetry reduction of some truly "variable coefficient" wave equations which are singled out from a class of (1 + 1)-dimensional variable coefficient nonlinear wave equations with respect to one and two-dimensional algebras is carried out. Some classes of exact solutions of the investigated equations are found by means of both the reductions and some modern techniques such as additional equivalent transformations and hidden symmetries and so on. Conditional symmetries are also discussed.
