Nonlocal symmetries and solutions of the multi-dimensional integrable long water wave equations

Abstract

In this paper, the (2+1)-dimensional integrable long water wave equations (LWWs) are constructed for the first time using the conservation law of the (1+1)-dimensional LWWs. The new (1+1)-dimensional LWWs can be obtained by introducing a constraint to the (2+1)-dimensional LWWs. This new (1+1)-dimensional LWWs are studied by using nonlocal symmetry methods for the first time. The closed system corresponding to nonlocal symmetry is established by the lax pairs of equations and the potential function determined using conservation laws. Exact solutions of the equations are obtained by finite symmetry transformation and symmetry approximation of this closed system. The dynamic behavior of the equations is studied by means of figures of the exact solutions.
