Abstract The second-order conditional Lie–Backlund symmetries of nonlinear diffusion equations with variable coefficients are studied. A number of examples are considered and some exact solutions are constructed via the compatibility of conditional Lie–Backlund symmetries and the governing equations. These solutions possess the extended forms of the separation of variables, including the extensions of the instantaneous source solutions of the porous medium equations.
