A note on exact results for Burgers-like equations involving Laguerre derivatives

Abstract

In this note, we consider some Burgers-like equations involving Laguerre derivatives and demonstrate that it is possible to construct specific exact solutions using separation of variables. We prove that a general scheme exists for constructing exact solutions for these Burgers-like equations, extending to more general cases, including nonlinear time-fractional equations. Exact solutions can also be obtained for KdV-like equations involving Laguerre derivatives. We finally consider a particular class of Burgers equations with variable coefficients whose solution can be obtained similarly.
