Lie symmetries and travelling wave solutions of the nonlinear waves in the inhomogeneous Fisher-Kolmogorov equation

In this work we consider a Fisher-Kolmogorov equation depending on two exponential functions of the spatial variables. We study this equation from the point of view of symmetry reductions in partial differential equations. Through two-dimensional abelian subalgebras, the equation is reduced to ordinary differential equations. New solutions have been derived and interpreted.

Conservation laws, symmetries, and line soliton solutions of generalized KP and Boussinesq equations with p-power nonlinearities in two dimensions

Nonlinear generalizations of integrable equations in one dimension, such as the KdV and Boussinesq equations with $p$-power nonlinearities, arise in many physical applications and are interesting in analysis due to critical behaviour. This paper studies analogous nonlinear $p$-power generalizations of the integrable KP equation and the Boussinesq equation in two dimensions. Several results are obtained. First, for all $p\neq 0$, a Hamiltonian formulation of both generalized equations is given. Second, all Lie symmetries are derived, including any that exist for special powers $p\neq0$. Third, Noether's theorem is applied to obtain the conservation laws arising from the Lie symmetries that are variational. Finally, explicit line soliton solutions are derived for all powers $p>0$, and some of their properties are discussed.
