In this work, the Lie symmetry theory is used to study the propagation of waves in an elastic string with electric currents in a static magnetic field. Both linear and nonlinear cases of the governing equations of string motion are analyzed. The classification problem of finding the principal admitted Lie groups of symmetries is solved. Some invariant analytical solutions are constructed. The physics of invariant solutions is interpreted when it is possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
