The study describes a new modification of the method of functional separation of variables for nonlinear equations of mathematical physics. Solutions are sought in an implicit form that involves several free functions; the specific expressions of these functions are determined in the subsequent analysis of the arising functional differential equations. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated by examples of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations and Klein-Gordon type equations with variable coefficients that depend on one or more arbitrary functions. A number of new exact functional separable solutions and generalized traveling-wave solutions are obtained.
