    In this paper, a symmetry classification of a (2+1)(2+1)-nonlinear wave equation utt−f(u)(uxx+uyy)=0u_{tt}-f(u)(u_{xx}+u_{yy})=0 where f(u)f(u) is a smooth function on uu, using Lie group method, is given. The basic infinitesimal method for calculating symmetry groups is presented, and used to determine the general symmetry group of this (2+1)(2+1)-nonlinear wave equation

    Full text link
    The present paper solves the problem of the group classification of the general Burgers' equation ut=f(x,u)ux2+g(x,u)uxxu_t=f(x,u)u_x^2+g(x,u)u_{xx}, where ff and gg are arbitrary smooth functions of the variable xx and uu, by using Lie method. The paper is one of the few applications of an algebraic approach to the problem of group classification: the method of preliminary group classification. A number of new interesting nonlinear invariant models which have nontrivial invariance algebras are obtained. The result of the work is a wide class of equations summarized in table form.Comment: 9 page
