Abstract:
In this paper, the Bogoyavlenskii–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (BKP) equation is taken into consideration by means of Lie symmetry analysis. Infinitesimal generators are computed under the invariance criteria of Lie groups and symmetry group for each generator is reported. Henceforth, conjugacy classes of abelian algebra are used to find the similarity reductions, which convert the considered equation into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Further, these ODEs are taken into consideration, and travelling wave structures are computed by applying different techniques. Moreover, the discussed model is discussed by means of nonlinear selfadjointness and conservation laws are derived for each Lie symmetry generator. For specific values of the physical parameters of the equation under discussion, the graphical behaviour of some solutions is depicted. © 2020 The Authors
