Abstract:
In this talk we study the generalized (2+1)-dimensional equal-width equation which arises in various fields of science. Using Lie symmetry analysis along with power series expansion and Weierstrass methods, we construct closed-form solutions of this equation. Moreover, we derive the conserved vectors of the underlying equation by utilizing the multiplier method and Noether`s theorem.
