Traveling-Wave Solutions of the Schwarz–Korteweg–de Vries Equation in 2+1 Dimensions and the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur Equation Through Symmetry Reductions

One of the more interesting solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional integrable Schwarz–Korteweg–de Vries (SKdV) equation is the soliton solutions. We previously derived a complete group classification for the SKdV equation in 2+1 dimensions. Using classical Lie symmetries, we now consider traveling-wave reductions with a variable velocity depending on the form of an arbitrary function. The corresponding solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional equation involve up to three arbitrary smooth functions. Consequently, the solutions exhibit a rich variety of qualitative behaviors. In particular, we show the interaction of a Wadati soliton with a line soliton. Moreover, via a Miura transformation, the SKdV is closely related to the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) equation in 2+1 dimensions. Using classical Lie symmetries, we consider traveling-wave reductions for the AKNS equation in 2+1 dimensions. It is interesting that neither of the (2+1)-dimensional integrable systems considered admit Virasoro-type subalgebras.

Group properties of generalized quasi-linear wave equations

In this paper, complete group classification of a class of (1+1)-dimensional generalized quasi-linear wave equations is performed by using the Lie-Ovsiannikov method, additional equivalent transformation and furcate split method. Lie reductions of some truly ‘variable coefficient’ wave equations which are singled out from the classification results are investigated. Some classes of exact solutions of these ‘variable coefficient’ wave equations are constructed by means of both the reductions and the additional equivalent transformations. The nonclassical symmetries to the generalized quasi-linear wave equation are also studied. This enabled to obtain some exact solutions of the wave equations which are invariant under certain conditional symmetries.     

Investigation of new solutions for an extended (2+ 1)-dimensional Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schif equation

We investigate and concentrate on new infinitesimal generators of Lie symmetries for an extended (2+ 1)-dimensional Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schif (eCBS) equation using the commutator table which results in a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which can be manually solved. Through two stages of Lie symmetry reductions, the eCBS equation is reduced to non-solvable nonlinear ODEs using different combinations of optimal Lie vectors. Using the integration method and the Riccati and Bernoulli equation methods, we investigate new analytical solutions to those ODEs. Back substituting to the original variables generates new solutions to the eCBS equation. These results are simulated through three- and two-dimensional plots.     

Traveling-Wave Solutions of the Calogero-Degasperis-Fokas Equation in 2+1 Dimensions

Soliton solutions are among the more interesting solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional integrable Calogero-Degasperis-Fokas (CDF) equation. We previously derived a complete group classiffication for the CDF equation in 2+1 dimensions. Using classical Lie symmetries, we now consider traveling-wave reductions with a variable velocity depending on an arbitrary function. The corresponding solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional equation involve up to three arbitrary smooth functions. The solutions consequently exhibit a rich variety of qualitative behaviors. Choosing the arbitrary functions appropriately, we exhibit solitary waves and bound states.__________Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 144, No. 1, pp. 44–55, July, 2005.     

Similarity Reductions and Exact Solutions for the Two-Dimensional Incompressible Navier–Stokes Equations

We study similarity reductions and exact solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations using the direct method originally developed by Clarkson and Kruskal [37]. The Navier–Stokes equations are reduced to their conventional stream function form, and it is shown that there exist essentially five reductions into lower-order partial differential equations. Furthermore, we study the possibilities for reducing each of these five forms to ordinary differential equations, some of which can be solved analytically, while others necessitate numerical treatment. In particular we exhibit several new reductions that are not obtained using the classical Lie group method of infinitesimal transformations, and thus we generate new exact solutions of the governing equations. Some of our solutions admit physical interpretations, and many of them contain well-known Navier–Stokes solutions as special examples.     

Painlevé analysis, Lie symmetries and exact solutions for (2+1)-dimensional variable coefficients Broer-Kaup equations

A (2+1) dimensional Broer-Kaup system which is obtained from the constraints of the KP equation is of importance in mathematical physics field. In this paper, the Painlevé analysis of (2+1)-variable coefficients Broer-Kaup (VCBK) equation is performed by the Weiss-Kruskal approach to check the Painlevé property. Similarity reductions of the VCBK equation to one-dimensional partial differential equations including Burger’s equation are investigated by the Lie classical method. The Lie group formalism is applied again on one of the investigated partial differential equation to derive symmetries, and the ordinary differential equations deduced from the optimal system of subalgebras are further studied and some exact solutions are obtained.     

Symmetry group analysis and similarity solutions of the CBS equation in (2+1) dimensions

We consider the (2+1)—dimensional integrable Calogero—Bogoyavlenskii—Schiff (CBS) written in a potential form. By using classical Lie symmetries, we consider travelling-wave reductions with variable velocity depending on the form of an arbitrary function. The corresponding solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional equation involve arbitrary smooth functions. Consequently the solutions exhibit a rich variety of qualitative behaviours. Indeed by making adequate choices for the arbitrary functions, we exhibit solitary waves and bound states. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Non-Lie symmetry groups and new exact solutions of a (2+1)-dimensional generalized Broer–Kaup system

By the modified CK’s direct method, the symmetry groups theorem of a (2+1)-dimensional generalized Broer–Kaup system is derived. Based upon the results, Lie point symmetry groups and new exact solutions of a (2+1)-dimensional generalized Broer–Kaup system are obtained.     

Some exact solutions of the ideal MHD equations through symmetry reduction method

We use the symmetry reduction method based on Lie group theory to obtain some exact solutions, the so-called invariant solutions, of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations in (3+1) dimensions. In particular, these equations are invariant under a Galilean-similitude Lie algebra for which the classification by conjugacy classes of r-dimensional subalgebras (1?r?4) was already known. We restrict our study to the three-dimensional Galilean-similitude subalgebras that give us systems composed of ordinary differential equations. Here, some examples of these solutions are presented with a brief physical interpretation.     

LIE SYMMETRY ANALYSIS AND PAINLEVE ANALYSIS OF THE NEW(2+l)-DIMENSIONAL KdV EQUATION

Lie point symmetries associated with the new (2 1)-dimensional KdV equation ut 3uxuy uxxy= 0 are investigated. Some similarity reductions are derived by solving the corresponding characteristic equations. Painleve analysis for this equation is also presented and the soliton solution is obtained directly from the Backlund transformation.     

Classical Symmetry Reductions of the Schwarz–Korteweg–de Vries Equation in 2+1 Dimensions

Classical reductions of a (2+1)-dimensional integrable Schwarz–Korteweg–de Vries equation are classified. These reductions to systems of partial differential equations in 1+1 dimensions admit symmetries that lead to further reductions, i.e., to systems of ordinary differential equations. All these systems have been reduced to second-order ordinary differential equations. We present some particular solutions involving two arbitrary functions.     

Lie symmetry analysis,optimal system,and generalized group invariant solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa equation

In this work, Lie group theoretic method is used to carry out the similarity reduction and solitary wave solutions of (2 + 1)-dimensional Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa (DJKM) equation. The equation describes the propagation of nonlinear dispersive waves in inhomogeneous media. Under the invariance property of Lie groups, the infinitesimal generators for the governing equation have been obtained. Thereafter, commutator table, adjoint table, invariant functions, and one-dimensional optimal system of subalgebras are derived by using Lie point symmetries. The symmetry reductions and some group invariant solutions of the DJKM equation are obtained based on some subalgebras. The obtained solutions are new and more general than the rest while known results reported in the literature. In order to show the physical affirmation of the results, the obtained solutions are supplemented through numerical simulation. Thus, the solitary wave, doubly soliton, multi soliton, and dark soliton profiles of the solutions are traced to make this research physically meaningful.     

Symmetry groups of differential-difference equations and their compatibility

It is shown that the intrinsic determining equations of a given differential-difference equation (DDE) can be derived by the compatibility between the original equation and the intrinsic invariant surface condition. The (2+1)-dimensional Toda lattice, the special Toda lattice and the DD-KP equation serving as examples are used to illustrate this approach. Then, Bäcklund transformations of the (2+1)-dimensional DDEs including the special Toda lattice, the modified Toda lattice and the DD-KZ equation are presented by using the non-intrinsic direct method. In addition, the Clarkson-Kruskal direct method is developed to find similarity reductions of the DDEs.     

NEW EXPLICIT SOLUTIONS TO THE （2＋1）-DIMENSIONAL BROER-KAUP EQUATIONS

Applying the homogeneous balance method, we have found the explicit and soliton solutions and given a successive formula of finding explicit solutions to the(2+1)-dimensional Broer-Kaup equations. Moreover, by using the Lie group method, we have discussed the similarity solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional Broer-Kanp equations.     

The Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii–Schiff Equation in 2+1 Dimensions

We use the classical and nonclassical methods to obtain symmetry reductions and exact solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional integrable Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii–Schiff equation. Although this (2+1)-dimensional equation arises in a nonlocal form, it can be written as a system of differential equations and, in potential form, as a fourth-order partial differential equation. The classical and nonclassical methods yield some exact solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional equation that involve several arbitrary functions and hence exhibit a rich variety of qualitative behavior.     

LIE SYMMETRY ANALYSIS AND PAINLEV(E) ANALYSIS OF THE NEW (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL KdV EQUATION

Symmetry reductions and new exact non-traveling wave solutions of potential Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation with p-power

With the aid of Maple symbolic computation and Lie group method, PKPp equation is reduced to some (1+1)-dimensional partial differential equations, in which there are linear PDE with constant coefficients, nonlinear PDE with constant coefficients, and nonlinear PDE with variable coefficients. Using the separation of variables, homoclinic test technique and auxiliary equation methods, we obtain new abundant exact non-traveling solutions with arbitrary functions for the PKPp.     

CKP and BKP Equations Related to the Generalized Quartic Hénon–Heiles Hamiltonian

In their classification of soliton equations from a group theoretical standpoint according to the representation of infinite Lie algebras, Jimbo and Miwa listed bilinear equations of low degree for the KP and the modified KP hierarchies. In this list, we consider the (1+1)-dimensional reductions of three particular equations of special interest for establishing some new links with the generalized Hénon–Heiles Hamiltonian, possibly useful for integrating the latter with functions having the Painlevé property. Two of those partial differential equations have N-soliton solutions that, as for the Kaup–Kupershmidt equation, can be written as the logarithmic derivative of a Grammian. Moreover, they can describe head-on collisions of solitary waves of different type and shape.     

Optimal portfolio for a defined-contribution pension plan under a constant elasticity of variance model with exponential utility

Based on the Lie symmetry method, we derive the explicit optimal invest strategy for an investor who seeks to maximize the expected exponential (CARA) utility of the terminal wealth in a defined-contribution pension plan under a constant elasticity of variance model. We examine the point symmetries of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the portfolio optimization problem. The symmetries compatible with the terminal condition enable us to transform the (2+ 1)-dimensional HJB equation into a (1+ 1)-dimensional nonlinear equation which is linearized by its infinite-parameter Lie group of point transformations. Finally, the ansatz technique based on variables separation is applied to solve the linear equation and the optimal strategy is obtained. The algorithmic procedure of the Lie symmetry analysis method adopted here is quite general compared with conjectures used in the literature.
