New Explicit Solutions of the Extended Double (2+1)-Dimensional Sine-Gorden Equation and Its Time Fractional Form

Abstract

In this paper, the extended double (2+1)-dimensional sine-Gorden equation is studied. First of all, using the symmetry method, the corresponding vector fields, Lie algebra and infinitesimal generators are derived. Then, from infinitesimal generators, the symmetry reductions are presented. In addition, these reduced equations are converted into the corresponding partial differential equations, which including classical double (1+1)-dimensional sine-Gorden equation. Moreover, based on the Lie symmetry method again, these reduced equations are investigated. Meanwhile, based on traveling wave transformation, some explicit solutions of the extended double (2+1)-dimensional sine-Gorden equation are obtained. Consequently, a conservation law is derived via conservation law multiplier method. Finally, especially with the help of the fractional complex transform, some solutions of double time fractional (2+1)-dimensional sine-Gorden equation are also derived. These results might explain complex nonlinear phenomenon.
