On the paper “Symmetry analysis of wave equation on sphere” by H. Azad and M.T. Mustafa

Abstract Using the scalar curvature of the product manifold S 2 × R and the complete group classification of nonlinear Poisson equation on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds, we extend the previous results on symmetry analysis of homogeneous wave equation obtained by H. Azad and M.T. Mustafa [H. Azad, M.T. Mustafa, Symmetry analysis of wave equation on sphere, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 333 (2007) 1180–1188] to nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations on the two-dimensional sphere.
