| Abstract: | In this paper the (2+1)-nonlinear diffusion equation u t ?div(f(u)grad u)=0 with variable diffusivity is considered. Using the Lie method, a complete symmetry classification of the equation is presented. Reductions, via two-dimensional Lie subalgebras of the equation, to first- or second-order ordinary differential equations are given. In a few interesting cases exact solutions are presented. |
