Travelling wave solutions of a two-dimensional generalized Sawada–Kotera equation

Nonlinear Dynamics volume 84, pages 915–922 (2016)Cite this article

Abstract

Lie symmetry analysis is performed on a two-dimensional generalized Sawada–Kotera equation, which arises in various problems in mathematical physics. Exact solutions are obtained using the Lie point symmetries method and the simplest equation method.
