The Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers equation: Its conservation laws and kink solitons

The present paper deals with the Sharma–Tasso–Olver–Burgers equation (STOBE) and its conservation laws and kink solitons. More precisely, the formal Lagrangian, Lie symmetries, and adjoint equations of the STOBE are firstly constructed to retrieve its conservation laws. Kink solitons of the STOBE are then extracted through adopting a series of newly well-designed approaches such as Kudryashov and exponential methods. Diverse graphs in 3D postures are formally portrayed to reveal the dynamical features of kink solitons. According to the authors’ knowledge, the outcomes of the current investigation are new and have been listed for the first time.

Approximate Noether Symmetries of Perturbed Lagrangians and Approximate Conservation Laws

In this paper, within the framework of the consistent approach recently introduced for approximate Lie symmetries of differential equations, we consider approximate Noether symmetries of variational problems involving small terms. Then, we state an approximate Noether theorem leading to the construction of approximate conservation laws. Some illustrative applications are presented.

Solutions of the KdV Equation through Analysis of Regular Symmetries

We investigate a case of the generalized Korteweg – De Vries Burgers equation. Our aim is to demonstrate the need for the application of further methods in addition to using Lie Symmetries. The solution is found through differential topological manifolds. We apply Lie’s theory to take the PDE to an ODE. However, this ODE is of third order and not easily solvable. It is through differentiable topological manifolds that we are able to arrive at a solution

A Forgotten Differential Equation Studied by Jacopo Riccati Revisited in Terms of Lie Symmetries

In this paper we present a two parameter family of differential equations treated by Jacopo Riccati, which does not appear in any modern repertoires and we extend the original solution method to a four parameter family of equations, translating the Riccati approach in terms of Lie symmetries. To get the complete solution, hypergeometric functions come into play, which, of course, were unknown in Riccati’s time. Re-discovering the method introduced by Riccati, called by himself dimidiata separazione (splitted separation), we arrive at the closed form integration of a differential equation, more general to the one treated in Riccati’s contribution, and which also does not appear in the known repertoires.
