Abstract
Using an example of variable-coefficient KdV equations we compare effectiveness of the “equivalence method” and the “extended mapping transformation method”. It is shown that the “equivalence method” is more efficient. A formula for generation of exact solutions for variable-coefficient KdV equations is derived.
