Rayleigh. Solve for \(u(x,t)\) \[ u_{tt} - u_{xx} = \epsilon (u_t - u_t^3) \]

Mathematica

ClearAll["Global`*"]; 
pde =  D[u[x, t], {t, 2}] - D[u[x, t], {x, 2}] == epsilon*(D[u[x, t], t] - D[u[x, t], t]^3); 
sol =  AbsoluteTiming[TimeConstrained[DSolve[pde, u[x, t], {x, t}], 60*10]];

pde := diff(u(x,t),t$2)-diff(u(x,t),x$2)=epsilon*(diff(u(x,t),t)-diff(u(x,t),t)^3); 
cpu_time := timelimit(60*10,CodeTools[Usage](assign('sol',pdsolve(pde,u(x,t),'build')),output='realtime'));
 

\[u \left (x , t\right ) = \frac {x^{2} \textit {\_c}_{1}}{2}+c_{1} x +c_{2}+c_{4}+\int \RootOf \left (c_{3}+t +\int _{}^{\textit {\_Z}}\frac {1}{\textit {\_f}^{3} \epsilon -\textit {\_f} \epsilon -\textit {\_c}_{1}}d \textit {\_f} \right )d t\] Has RootOf
