Symmetry reductions for thin film type equations
The lubrication equation ut = (u nuxxx)x plays an important role in the study of the interface movements. In this work we analyze the generalizations of the above equation given by ut = (u nuxxx)x − kumux. By using Lie classical method the corresponding reductions are performed and some solutions are characterized
Generalized Camassa-Holm Equations: Symmetry, Conservation Laws and Regular Pulse and Front Solutions
In this paper, we consider a member of an integrable family of generalized Camassa-Holm (GCH) equations. We make an analysis of the point Lie symmetries of these equations by using the Lie method of infinitesimals. We derive nonclassical symmetries and we find new symmetries via the nonclassical method, which cannot be obtained by Lie symmetry method. We employ the multiplier method to construct conservation laws for this family of GCH equations. Using the conservation laws of the underlying equation, double reduction is also constructed. Finally, we investigate traveling waves of the GCH equations. We derive convergent series solutions both for the homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits of the traveling-wave equations, which correspond to pulse and front solutions of the original GCH equations, respectively
Symmetry reductions of a generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation via equivalence transformations
In this paper we consider a generalized Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation. The equivalence group of the class under consideration has been constructed. This group allows us to perform a comprehensive study and a clear and concise formulation of the results. We have constructed the optimal system of subalgebras of the projections of the equivalence algebra on the space formed by the dependent variable and the arbitrary functions. By using this optimal system, all nonequivalent equations admitting an extension by one of the principal Lie algebra of the class under consideration can be determined. Taking into account the additional symmetries obtained we reduce some partial differential equations belonging to the class into ordinary differential equations. We derive some exact solutions of these equations.9 página
Lie Point Symmetries, Traveling Wave Solutions and Conservation Laws of a Non-linear Viscoelastic Wave Equation
This paper studies a non-linear viscoelastic wave equation, with non-linear damping and source terms, from the point of view of the Lie groups theory. Firstly, we apply Lie's symmetries method to the partial differential equation to classify the Lie point symmetries. Afterwards, we reduce the partial differential equation to some ordinary differential equations, by using the symmetries. Therefore, new analytical solutions are found from the ordinary differential equations. Finally, we derive low-order conservation laws, depending on the form of the damping and source terms, and discuss their physical meaning.The support of the Plan Propio de Investigacion de la Universidad de Cadiz is gratefully acknowledged.

Symmetry Analysis and Conservation Laws of a Generalization of the Kelvin-Voigt Viscoelasticity Equation
In this paper, we study a generalization of the well-known Kelvin-Voigt viscoelasticity
equation describing the mechanical behaviour of viscoelasticity. We perform a Lie symmetry analysis.
Hence, we obtain the Lie point symmetries of the equation, allowing us to transform the partial
differential equation into an ordinary differential equation by using the symmetry reductions.
Furthermore, we determine the conservation laws of this equation by applying the multiplier method
Conservation laws, classical symmetries and exact solutions of the generalized KdV-Burgers-Kuramoto equation
For a generalized KdV-Burgers-Kuramoto equation we have studied conservation laws by using the multiplier method, and investigated its first-level and second level potential systems. Furthermore, the Lie point symmetries of the equation and the Lie point symmetries associated with the conserved vectors are determined. We obtain travellingwave reductions depending on the form of an arbitrary
function. We present some explicit solutions: soliton solutions, kinks and antikinks
On symmetries and conservation laws of a Gardner equation involving arbitrary functions
Mathematics Subject Classification: 35C07, 35Q53In this work we study a generalized variable-coefficient Gardner equation from the point of view of Lie symmetries in partial differential equations. We find conservation laws by using the multipliers method of Anco and Bluman which does not require the use of a variational principle. We also construct conservation laws by using Ibragimov theorem which is based on the concept of adjoint equation for nonlinear differential equations.10 página
Symmetry Analysis, Exact Solutions and Conservation Laws of a Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers Equation in 2+1-Dimensions
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 & PRIME;(u)& NOTEQUAL;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.The authors acknowledge the financial support from Junta de Andalucia group FQM-201.

Lie symmetries and equivalence transformations for the Barenblatt-Gilman model
In this paper we have considered the Barenblatt-Gilman equation which models the nonequilibrium countercurrent capillary impregnation. The equation of this model is a third-order equation and the unknown function concerns to the effective water saturation. We have applied the classical method to get the Lie group classification with respect to unknown function and we have constructed the equivalence transformations. We have also obtained the invariant solutions for some forms of the equation, including travelling wave solutions based on the Jacobi elliptic sine function
