Some new periodic solitary wave solutions of (3+1)-dimensional generalized shallow water wave equation by Lie symmetry approach

摘要

Many important physical situations such as fluid flows, marine environment, solid-state physics and plasma physics have been represented by shallow water wave equations. In this article, we construct new solitary wave solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional generalized shallow water wave (GSWW) equation by using optimal system of Lie symmetry vectors. The governing equation admits twelve Lie dimension space. A variety of analytic (closed-form) solutions such as new periodic solitary wave, cross-kink soliton and doubly periodic breather-type solutions have been obtained by using invariance of the concerned (3+1)-dimensional GSWW equation under one-parameter Lie group of transformations. Lie symmetry transformations have applied to generate the different forms of invariant solutions of the (3+1)-dimensional GSWW equation. For different Lie algebra, Lie symmetry method reduces (3+1)-dimensional GSWW equation into various ordinary differential equations (ODEs) while one of the Lie algebra, it is transformed into the well known (2+1)-dimensional BLMP equation. It is affirmed that the proposed techniques are convenient, genuine and powerful tools to find the exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Under the suitable choices of arbitrary functions and parameters, 2D, 3D and contour graphics to the obtained results of GSWW equation are also analyzed. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
