By applying a direct symmetry method, we get the symmetry of the asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equation （ANNV）. Taking the special case, we have a finite-dimensional symmetry. By using the equivalent vector of the symmetry, we construct an eight-dimensional symmetry algebra and get the optimal system of group-invariant solutions. To every case of the optimal system, we reduce the ANNV equation and obtain some solutions to the reduced equations. Furthermore, we find some new explicit solutions of the ANNV equation. At last, we give the conservation laws of the ANNV equation.     

Symmetry, Reductions and New Exact Solutions of ANNV Equation Through Lax Pair

In this paper, the direct symmetry method is extended to the Lax pair of the ANNV equation. As a result, symmetries of the Lax pair and the ANNV equation are obtained at the same time. Applying the obtained symmetry, the （2＋1）-dimensional Lax pair is reduced to （1＋1）-dimensional Lax pair, whose compatibility yields the reduction of the ANNV equation. Based on the obtained reductions of the ANNV equation, a lot of new exact solutions for the ANNV equation are found. This shows that for an integrable system, both the symmetry and the reductions can be obtained through its corresponding Lax pair.

Abstract

Symmetry properties of some Fokker-Planck equations are studied. In the one-dimensional case, when symmetry groups turn out to be six-parameter ones, this allows to find changes of variables to reduce such Fokker-Planck equations to the one-dimensional heat equation. The symmetry and the family of exact solutions of the Kramers equation are obtained.

Exact Solutions of Ablowitz-Ladik Hierarchy with Self-Consistent Sources Revisited and Reductions

In the paper, Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy with new self-consistent sources is investigated. First the source in the hierarchy is described as φ_nφ_n+1, where φ_n is related to the Ablowitz-Ladik spectral problem, instead of the corresponding adjoint spectral problem. Then by means of the inverse scattering transform, the multi-soliton solutions for the hierarchy are obtained. Two reductions to the discrete mKdV and nonlinear Schrödinger hierarchies with self-consistent sources are considered by using the uniqueness of the Jost functions, as well as their N-soliton solutions.
