Lie symmetry analysis, particular solutions and conservation laws of a (2+1)-dimensional KdV4 equation

Abstract

<abstract><p>In this paper, a (2+1)-dimensional KdV4 equation is considered. We obtain Lie symmetries of this equation by utilizing Lie point symmetry analysis method, then use them to perform symmetry reductions. By using translation symmetries, two fourth-order ordinary differential equations are obtained. Solutions of one fourth order ordinary differential equation are presented by using direct integration method and $ (G'/G) $-expansion method respectively. Furthermore, the corresponding solutions are depicted with appropriate graphical representations. The other fourth-order ordinary differential equation is solved by using power series technique. Finally, two kinds of conserved vectors of this equation are presented by invoking the multiplier method and Noether's theorem respectively.</p></abstract>
