Abstract

‎In this paper the Lie symmetry method and Lie brackets of vector fields are used in order to find some new solutions of (3+1)-dimensional sourceless wave equation‎. ‎The obtained solutions are classified to two categories; polynomial and non-polynomial exact solutions‎. ‎Because of the properties of the Lie brackets and the symmetries‎, ‎a generalized method is implemented for constructing new solutions from old solutions‎. ‎We demonstrate the generation of such polynomial and non-polynomial solutions through the medium of the group theoretical properties of the equation‎. ‎It in noteworthy that this method could be used when the equations has two special kind of symmetries which will be mentioned below‎.
