Space time fractional Drinfel'd-Sokolov-Wilson system with time-dependent variable coefficients: Symmetry analysis, power series solutions and conservation laws

Abstract

In this work we aim to apply the Lie-symmetry method via the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative based on continuous group of transformations to examine the symmetry reduction of space time fractional Drinfel'd-Sokolov-Wilson (DSW) system with time-dependent variable coefficients. The reduced Nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equations (NLFODEs) with variable coefficients are further studied for the exact solution by using the power series method. The exact solutions obtained in form of power series and their convergence show the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, which is simple and accurate in comparison to other methods to find the exact solution of nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (NLFPDEs). Also, the new conservation theorem and Noether's operators are used to construct conservation laws of the governing system.
