Description
Summary:In this article, we investigate a two-dimensional generalized shallow water wave equation. Lie symmetries of the equation are computed first and then used to perform symmetry reductions. By utilizing the three translation symmetries of the equation, a fourth-order ordinary differential equation is obtained and solved in terms of an incomplete elliptic integral. Moreover, with the aid of Kudryashov’s approach, more closed-form solutions are constructed. In addition, energy and linear momentum conservation laws for the underlying equation are computed by engaging the multiplier approach as well as Noether’s theorem.
