Symmetry Analysis and Conservation Laws to the(2+1)-Dimensional Coupled Nonlinear Extension of the Reaction-Diffusion Equation

In this paper, a detailed Lie symmetry analysis of the(2+1)-dimensional coupled nonlinear extension of the reaction-diffusion equation is presented. The general finite transformation group is derived via a simple direct method,which is equivalent to Lie point symmetry group actually. Similarity reduction and some exact solutions of the original equation are obtained based on the optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras. In addition, conservation laws are constructed by employing the new conservation theorem.
