On double reductions from symmetries and conservation laws

We present the theory of double reductions of PDEs with two independent variables that admit a Lie point symmetry and a conserved vector invariant under the symmetry. The theory is applied to a third order nonlinear partial differential equation which describes the filtration of a visco-elastic liquid with relaxation through a porous medium.     

Symmetries and conservation laws for a sixth-order Boussinesq equation

This paper considers a generalization depending on an arbitrary function f(u) of a sixth-order Boussinesq equation which arises in shallow water waves theory. Interestingly, this equation admits a Hamiltonian formulation when written as a system. A classification of point symmetries and conservation laws in terms of the function f(u) is presented for both, the generalized Boussinesq equation and the equivalent Hamiltonian system.

Local symmetries and conservation laws

Starting with Lie's classical theory, we carefully explain the basic notions of the higher symmetries theory for arbitrary systems of partial differential equations as well as the necessary calculation procedures. Roughly speaking, we explain what analogs of higher KdV equations are for an arbitrary system of partial differential equations and also how one can find and use them. The cohomological nature of conservation laws is shown and some basic results are exposed which allow one to calculate, in principle, all conservation laws for a given system of partial differential equations. In particular, it is shown that symmetry and conservation law are, in some sense, the dual conceptions which coincides in the self-dual case, namely, for Euler-Lagrange equations. Training examples are also given.Translated from the Russian by B. A. Kuperschmidt.     

Lie symmetries and conservation laws of the Fokker-Planck equation with power diffusion

We concentrate on Lie symmetries and conservation laws of the Fokker-Planck equation with power diffusion describing the growth of cell populations. First, we perform a complete symmetry classification of the equation, and then we find some interesting similarity solutions by means of the symmetries and the variable coefficient heat equation. Local dynamical behaviors are analyzed via the solutions for the growing cell populations. Second, we show that the conservation law multipliers of the equation take the form Λ=Λ(t,x,u), which satisfy a linear partial differential equation, and then give the general formula of conservation laws. Finally, symmetry properties of the conservation law are investigated and used to construct conservation laws of the reduced equations.     

Local conservation laws,symmetries, and exact solutions for a Kudryashov‐Sinelshchikov equation

In this paper, we consider a Kudryashov‐Sinelshchikov equation that describes pressure waves in a mixture of a liquid and gas bubbles taking into consideration the viscosity of liquid and the heat transfer between liquid and gas bubbles. We show that this equation is rich in conservation laws. These conservation laws have been found by using the direct method of the multipliers. We apply the Lie group method to derive the symmetries of this equation. Then, by using the optimal system of 1‐dimensional subalgebras we reduce the equation to ordinary differential equations. Finally, some exact wave solutions are obtained by applying the simplest equation method.     

Combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation: Symmetry reductions,exact solutions and conservation laws

Abstract

In this paper we study the combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation, which arises in mathematical physics and has a wide range of scientific applications that range from chemical reactions to water surface gravity waves. We employ Lie symmetry analysis along with the simplest equation method to obtain exact solutions based on the optimal systems of one-dimensional subalgebras for the combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation. Furthermore, conservation laws for the combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation are derived by employing two different methods; the direct method and new conservation theorem.     

Asymptotic behavior for the singularly perturbed damped Boussinesq equation

This work is focused on the long‐time behavior of solutions to the singularly perturbed damped Boussinesq equation in a 3D case where ε > 0 is small enough. Without any growth restrictions on the nonlinearity f(u), we establish in an appropriate bounded phase space a finite dimensional global attractor as well as an exponential attractor of optimal regularity. The key step is the estimate of the difference between the solutions of the damped Boussinesq equation and the corresponding pseudo‐parabolic equation.Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nonclassical symmetry reductions of the Boussinesq equation

In this paper we discuss symmetry reductions and exact solutions of the Boussinesq equation using the classical Lie method of infinitesimals, the direct method due to Clarkson and Kruskal and the nonclassical method due to Bluman and Cole. In particular, we compare and contrast the application of these three methods. We discuss the use of symbolic manipulation programs in the implementation of these methods and differential Gröbner bases as a technique for solving the overdetermined systems of equations that arise. The relationship between the direct and nonclassical methods and other ansatz-based methods for deriving exact solutions of partial differential equations are also mentioned. To conclude we describe some of the important open problems in the field of symmetry analysis of differential equations.

Relations between symmetries and conservation laws for difference systems

This paper presents a relation between divergence variational symmetries for difference variational problems on lattices and conservation laws for the associated Euler–Lagrange system provided by Noether's theorem. This inspires us to define conservation laws related to symmetries for arbitrary difference equations with or without Lagrangian formulations. These conservation laws are constrained by partial differential equations obtained from the symmetries generators. It is shown that the orders of these partial differential equations have been reduced relative to those used in a general approach. Illustrative examples are presented.

In this paper we study the initial problem for a stochastic nonlinear equation arising from 1D integro-differential scalar conservation laws. The equation is driven by Lévy space-time white noise in the following form:

(t_∂−A)u+x_∂q(u)=f(u)+g(u)Ft,x     

An infinite set of conservation laws for infinite symmetries

We consider partial differential equations of a variational problem admitting infinite-dimensional Lie symmetry algebras parameterized by arbitrary functions of dependent variables and their derivatives. We show that unlike differential systems with symmetry algebras parameterized by arbitrary functions of independent variables, these equations have infinite sets of essential conservation laws. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 151, No. 3, pp. 518–528, June, 2007.

Weak self-adjointness and conservation laws for a porous medium equation

The concepts of self-adjoint and quasi self-adjoint equations were introduced by Ibragimov (2006, 2007) [4], [7]. In Ibragimov (2007) [6] a general theorem on conservation laws was proved. In Gandarias (2011) [3] we generalized the concept of self-adjoint and quasi self-adjoint equations by introducing the definition of weak self-adjoint equations. In this paper we find the subclasses of weak self-adjoint porous medium equations. By using the property of weak self-adjointness we construct some conservation laws associated with symmetries of the differential equation.
