Tzitzeica equation

The Tzitzeica equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation devised by Gheorghe Țițeica in 1907 in the study of differential geometry, describing surfaces of constant affine curvature.^[1] The Tzitzeica equation has also been used in nonlinear physics, being an integrable 1+1 dimensional Lorentz invariant system.^[2]

$u_{{xy}}=\exp(u)-\exp(-2*u).$

On substituting

w(x,y)=exp(u(x,y))

the equation becomes

$w(x,y)_{{y,x}}*w(x,y)-w(x,y)_{{x}}*w(x,y)_{{y}}-w(x,y)^{3}+1=0$

Obtain the traveling solution of the original equation by the reverse transformation $u(x,y)=ln(w(x,y))$ .
