Reduction operators and exact solutions of variable coefficient nonlinear wave equations with power nonlinearities

Reduction operators, i.e. the operators of nonclassical (or conditional) symmetry of a class of variable coefficient nonlinear wave equations with power nonlinearities is investigated within the framework of singular reduction operator. A classification of regular reduction operators is performedwith respect to generalized extended equivalence groups. Exact solutions of some nonlinear wave model which are invariant under certain reduction operators are also constructed.

Group properties and invariant solutions of a sixth-order thin film equation in viscous fluid

Using group theoretical methods, we analyze the generalization of a one-dimensional sixth-order thin film equation which arises in considering the motion of a thin film of viscous fluid driven by an overlying elastic plate. The most general Lie group classification of point symmetries, its Lie algebra, and the equivalence group are obtained. Similar reductions are performed and invariant solutions are constructed. It is found that some similarity solutions are of great physical interest such as sink and source solutions, travelling-wave solutions, waiting-time solutions, and blow-up solutions.
