      In this paper, three subjects connected to the equation \[ u_{tt}=(uu_x)_x \tag{1} \] are developed. First, potential symmetries and related new exact solutions of equation (1) are investigated. Second, a new approach to use the Lie group technique for differential equations depending on a small parameter is developed. This approach is applied to perturbed nonlinear wave equations having equation (1) as unperturbed part. As a result, new approximate solutions of perturbed nonlinear wave equations are found via potential symmetries and some nonlinear wave equations exactly reducible to equation (1) are obtained.
