Lie symmetry analysis and some exact solutions for modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation

Abstract

In this study, the Lie symmetry method is used to perform detailed analysis on the modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation. We have obtained the infinitesimal generators, commutator table of Lie algebra and symmetry group. In addition to that, optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras up to conjugacy is derived and used to construct distinct exact solutions. These solutions describe the dynamics of nonlinear waves in isothermal multicomponent magnetized plasmas.
