Non-Lie Reduction Operators and Potential Transformations for a Special System with Applications in Plasma Physics

Non-Lie reduction operators, also known as nonclassical symmetries, are derived for special systems that appear in Plasma Physics. These operators are used to construct similarity mappings, which reduce the systems under study into systems of ordinary differential equations. Furthermore, potential e...

description Non-Lie reduction operators, also known as nonclassical symmetries, are derived for special systems that appear in Plasma Physics. These operators are used to construct similarity mappings, which reduce the systems under study into systems of ordinary differential equations. Furthermore, potential equivalence transformations are presented. Based on these results, a number of exact solutions are constructed.
