Optimal System, Symmetry Reductions and Exact Solutions of the (2 + 1)-Dimensional Seventh-Order Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–KP Equation

Abstract

In this paper, the (2+1)-dimensional seventh-order Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–KP equation is investigated through the Lie group method. The Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries, commutative and adjoint tables, and one-dimensional optimal systems is presented. Then, the seventh-order Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–KP equation is reduced to nine types of (1+1)-dimensional equations with the help of symmetry subalgebras. Finally, the unified algebra method is used to obtain the soliton solutions, trigonometric function solutions, and Jacobi elliptic function solutions of the seventh-order Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–KP equation.
