Novel dynamical group-invariant solutions and conserved vectors of the Gilson–Pickering equation with applications in plasma physics

Abstract

This work delves into the analysis of the Gilson-Pickering equation which governs the waves propagation in plasma physics by invoking Lie symmetry analysis. We commence by identifying the Lie point symmetries associated with the equation. These symmetries are then leveraged on to compute the commutator table and subsequently the adjoint representation, ultimately leading to the establishment of an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras. Each subalgebra within this system is subsequently utilized to perform symmetry reductions. Through these reductions, various forms of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are obtained, which are subsequently solved using the power series method and Kudryashov’s technique. The resulting solutions are given in terms of hyperbolic functions. To gain deeper insights into the behavior of these solutions, three-dimensional and two-dimensional plots are presented. Furthermore, applying the Ibragimov’s theorem allows us to derive conserved vectors associated with the Gilson–Pickering equation.
