Lie symmetry analysis, power series solutions and conservation laws of
time fractional coupled Boussinesq-Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations
Abstract
In this paper, Lie symmetry analysis method is applied to time
fractional coupled Boussinesq-Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations, which is an
important model in physics. The obtained Lie symmetries are utilized to
reduce the system of fractional partial differential equations with
Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative to the system of fractional
ordinary differential equations with Erdélyi-Kober fractional
derivative. Then the power series method is applied to derive explicit
power series solutions for the reduced system. In addition, the new
conservation theorem and the generalization of Noether operators are
developed to construct the conservation laws for the equations studied.
