Symmetry groups and spiral wave solution of a wave propagation equation

We study a third-order nonlinear evolution equation, which can be transformed to the modified KdV equation, using the Lie symmetry method. The Lie point symmetries and the one-dimensional optimal system of the symmetry algebras are determined. Those symmetries are some types of nonlocal symmetries or hidden symmetries of the modified KdV equation. The group-invariant solutions, particularly the travelling wave and spiral wave solutions, are discussed in detail, and a type of spiral wave solution which is smooth in the origin is obtained.

Lie symmetry analysis and reduction of a new integrable coupled KdV system

In this paper, Lie symmetry is investigated for a new integrable coupled Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) equation system. Using some symmetry subalgebra of the equation system, we obtain five types of the significant similarity reductions. Abundant solutions of the coupled KdV equation system, such as the solitary wave solution, exponential solution, rational solution and polynomial solution, etc. are obtained from the reduced equations. Especially, one type of group-invariant solution of reduced equations can be acquired by means of the Painlev\'e I transcendent function.

The symmetry of the fermionic field is obtained by means of the Lax pair of the mKdV equation. A new super mKdV equation is constructed by virtue of the symmetry of the fermionic form. The super mKdV system is changed to a system of coupled bosonic equations with the bosonization approach. The bosonized SmKdV(BSmKdV)equation admits Painlevé property by the standard singularity analysis. The traveling wave solutions of the BSmKdV system are presented by the mapping and deformation method. We also provide other ideas to construct new super integrable systems.

Infinite series symmetry reduction solutions to the modified KdV--Burgers equation

From the point of view of approximate symmetry, the modified Korteweg--de Vries--Burgers (mKdV--Burgers) equation with weak dissipation is investigated. The symmetry of a system of the corresponding partial differential equations which approximate the perturbed mKdV--Burgers equation is constructed and the corresponding general approximate symmetry reduction is derived; thereby infinite series solutions and general formulae can be obtained. The obtained result shows that the zero-order similarity solution to the mKdV--Burgers equation satisfies the Painlevé II equation. Also, at the level of travelling wave reduction, the general solution formulae are given for any travelling wave solution of an unperturbed mKdV equation. As an illustrative example, when the zero-order tanh profile solution is chosen as an initial approximate solution, physically approximate similarity solutions are obtained recursively under the appropriate choice of parameters occurring during computation.

Residual Symmetry of the Alice-Bob Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Starting from the truncated Painlev′e expansion, the residual symmetry of the Alice-Bob modified Kortewegde Vries(AB-mKdV) equation is derived. The residual symmetry is localized and the AB-mKdV equation is transformed into an enlarged system by introducing one new variable. Based on Lie's first theorem, the finite transformation is obtained from the localized residual symmetry. Further, considering the linear superposition of multiple residual symmetries gives rises to N-th B?cklund transformation in the form of the determinant. Moreover, the P_sT_d(the shifted parity and delayed time reversal) symmetric exact solutions(including invariant solution, breaking solution and breaking interaction solution) of AB-mKdV equation are presented and two classes of interaction solutions are depicted by using the particular functions with numerical simulation.
