The generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov system is a widely-used model that describes wave phenomena in various contexts. Many properties of this system, such as Hamiltonian formulations and integrability, have been extensively studied and exact solutions have been derived for specific cases. In this paper we applied the direct method of multipliers to obtain all low-order local conservation laws of the system. These conservation laws correspond to physical quantities that remain constant over time, such as energy and momentum, and we provided a physical interpretation for each of them. Additionally, we investigated the Lie point symmetries and first-order symmetries of the system. Through the point symmetries and constructing the optimal systems of one-dimensional subalgebras, we were able to reduce the system of partial differential equations to ordinary differential systems and obtain new solutions for the system.

In this work, symmetry groups are used to determine symmetry reductions of a (2 + 1)‐dimensional Keller–Segel system depending on two arbitrary functions. We show that the point symmetries of the considered Keller–Segel system comprise an infinite‐dimensional Lie algebra which involves three arbitrary functions. By way of example, we have used these point symmetries to reduce straightaway the given system of second‐order partial differential equations to a system of second‐order ordinary differential equations. Moreover, we are allowed to substitute one of the dependent variables from one of the equations into the other, leading to an equivalent fourth‐order nonlinear ordinary differential equation. This equation is reduced through the use of solvable symmetry subalgebras, and some exact solutions are obtained for a particular case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A family of third-order partial differential equations (PDEs) is analyzed. This family broadens out well-known PDEs such as the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the Gardner equation, and the Burgers equation, which model many real-world phenomena. Furthermore, several macroscopic models for semiconductors considering quantum effects—for example, models for the transmission of electrical lines and quantum hydrodynamic models—are governed by third-order PDEs of this family. For this family, all point symmetries have been derived. These symmetries are used to determine group-invariant solutions from three-dimensional solvable subgroups of the complete symmetry group, which allow us to reduce the given PDE to a first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE). Finally, exact solutions are obtained by solving the first-order nonlinear ODEs or by taking into account the Type-II hidden symmetries that appear in the reduced second-order ODEs.

The Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation describes the unidirectional propagation of small-amplitude long waves on the surface of water in a channel. In this paper, we consider a family of generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burgers equations depending on three arbitrary constants and an arbitrary function G (u) . We study this family from the standpoint of the theory of symmetry reductions of partial differential equations. Firstly, we obtain the Lie point symmetries admitted by the considered family. Moreover, taking into account the admitted point symmetries, we perform symmetry reductions. In particular, for G ′ (u) ≠ 0 , we construct an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras for each maximal Lie algebra and deduce the corresponding (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear third-order partial differential equations. Then, we apply Kudryashov's method to look for exact solutions of the nonlinear differential equation. We also determine line soliton solutions of the family of equations in a particular case. Lastly, through the multipliers method, we have constructed low-order conservation laws admitted by the family of equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, we study a generalised (2 + 1) equation of the Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) (m , n , k) equation involving three arbitrary functions. From the point of view of the Lie symmetry theory, we have derived all Lie symmetries of this equation depending on the arbitrary functions. Line soliton solutions have also been obtained. Moreover, we study the low-order conservation laws by applying the multiplier method. This family of equations is rich in Lie symmetries and conservation laws. Finally, when the equation is expressed in potential form, it admits a variational structure in the case when two of the arbitrary functions are linear. In addition, the corresponding Hamiltonian formulation is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
