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.

A generalization of the time-delayed Burgers–Fisher equation is studied. This partial differential equation appears in many physical and biological problems describing the interaction between reaction, diffusion, and convection. New travelling wave solutions are obtained. The solutions are derived in a systematic way by applying the multi-reduction method to the symmetry-invariant conservation laws. The translation-invariant conservation law yields a first integral, which is a first-order Chini equation. Under certain conditions on the coefficients of the equation, the Chini type equation obtained can be solved, yielding travelling wave solutions expressed in terms of the Lerch transcendent function. For a special case, the first integral becomes a Riccati equation, whose solutions are given in terms of Bessel functions, and for a special case of the parameters, the solutions are given in terms of exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions. Furthermore, a complete classification of the zeroth-order local conservation laws is obtained. To the best of our knowledge, our results include new solutions that have not been previously reported in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, we consider a family of nonlinear third-order evolution equations, where two arbitrary functions depending on the dependent variable appear. Evolution equations of this type model several real-world phenomena, such as diffusion, convection, or dispersion processes, only to cite a few. By using the multiplier method, we compute conservation laws. Looking for traveling waves solutions, all the the conservation laws that are invariant under translation symmetries are directly obtained. Moreover, each of them will be inherited by the corresponding traveling wave ODEs, and a set of first integrals are obtained, allowing to reduce the nonlinear third-order evolution equations under consideration into a first-order autonomous equation.

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]
