Abstract

Abstract This article investigates the potential Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (pKP) equation, which describes the evolution of small-amplitude nonlinear long waves with slow transverse coordinate dependence. For the first time, we employ Lie symmetry methods to calculate the Lie point symmetries of the equation, which are then utilized to derive exact solutions through symmetry reductions and with the help of Kudryashov’s method. The solutions obtained include exponential, hyperbolic, elliptic, and rational functions. Furthermore, we provide one-parameter group of transformations for the pKP equation. To gain a better understanding of the nature of each solution, we present 3D, 2D, and density plots. These obtained solutions, along with their associated physical characteristics, offer valuable insights into the propagation of small yet finite amplitude waves in shallow water.In addition, the pKP equation conserved vectors are derived by utilizing the multiplier method and the theorems by Noether and Ibragimov.
