Lie symmetry analysis is applied to study the nonlinear rotating shallow water equations. The 9-dimensional Lie algebra of point symmetries admitted by the model is found. It is shown that the rotating shallow water equations are related with the classical shallow water model with the change of variables. The derived symmetries are used to generate new exact solutions of the rotating shallow eq...

Abstract. We investigate symmetry reduction of optimal control problems for left-invariant control systems on Lie groups, with partial symmetry breaking cost functions. Our approach emphasizes the role of variational principles and considers a discrete-time setting as well as the standard continuous-time formulation. Specifically, we recast the optimal control problem as a constrained variation...

Abstract The extended Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (eKP) equation in fluids is investigated by using Lie symmetry analysis. reductions, together with the simplest method, are used to obtain exact solutions of eKP equation. Finally, we derive conservation laws multiplier approach.

Some aspects of Q-conditional symmetry and of its connections with reduction and compatibility are discussed. There are a number of examples in the history of science when a scientific theory quickly developed, gave good results and applications, and had no sufficiently good theoretical fundament. Let us remember mathematical analysis in the XVIII-th century. It is true in some respect for the ...

"Optimal systems" of similarity solutions of a given system of nonlinear partial (integro-)differential equations which admits a finite-dimensional Lie point symmetry group G are an effective systematic means to classify these group-invariant solutions since every other such solution can be derived from the members of the optimal systems. The classification problem for the similarity solutions ...

Lie Group Action. A process by which a Lie group, acting as a symmetry, moves points in a space. When points in the space that are related by a group element are identified, one obtains the quotient space. Free Action. An action that moves every point under any nontrivial group element. Proper Action. An action that obeys a compactness condition. Momentum Mapping. A dynamically conserved quanti...

The applications of symmetry groups to problems arising in the calculus of variations have their origins in the late papers of Lie, e.g., [34], which introduced the subject of “integral invariants”. Lie showed how the symmetry group of a variational problem can be readily computed based on an adaptation of the infinitesimal method used to compute symmetry groups of differential equations. Moreo...

We establish an algebraic structure for zero curvature representations of coupled integrable couplings. The adopted zero curvature representations are associated with Lie algebras possessing two sub-Lie algebras in form of semi-direct sums of Lie algebras. By applying the presented algebraic structures to the AKNS systems, we give an approach for generating τ -symmetry algebras of coupled integ...

Using Lie symmetry methods for differential equations we have investigated the symmetries of a Lagrangian for a plane symmetric static spacetime. Perturbing this Lagrangian we explore its approximate symmetries. It has a non-trivial first-order approximate symmetry.

We show that any Lie point symmetry of semilinear Kohn-Laplace equations on the Heisenberg group H with power nonlinearity is a divergence symmetry if and only if the corresponding exponent assumes critical value.
