Kac–Moody–Virasoro Symmetry Algebra of (2+1)-Dimensional Dispersive Long-Wave Equation with Arbitrary Order Invariant

Abstract

By Lie symmetry method, the Lie point symmetries and its Kac–Moody–Virasoro (KMV) symmetry algebra of (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long-wave equation (DLWE) are obtained, and the finite transformation of DLWE is given by symmetry group direct method, which can recover Lie point symmetries. Then KMV symmetry algebra of DLWE with arbitrary order invariant is also obtained. On basis of this algebra the group invariant solutions and similarity reductions are also derived.
