Let f(x, y, z, t) satisfy the equation

For certain purposes, particularly in connection with the propagation of a boundary of fusion etc., it is of interest to discover solutions of (1) which permit the equation:

to be solved explicitly in the form:

This suggests the examination of solutions of the type

where

and f, ϕ, ψ are functions to be determined. To save repetition, Roman capitals denote arbitrary constants throughout.
