Symmetries, travelling-wave and self-similar solutions of two-component BKP hierarchy

Abstract

We investigate the two-component BKP hierarchy equation for its Lie point symmetries. To obtain a complete classification of the group-invariant solution, we derive the one-dimensional optimal system of subalgebras of A3,3(D⨂sT2). By employing those subalgebras, we construct the invariant solutions which are represented through Weierstrass elliptic functions, Jacobi elliptic functions, and soliton solutions. Also, we analyse the existence of a bounded travelling-wave solution for the equation. Moreover, through the utilization of scale-invariant symmetry, we derive a self-similar solution. Additionally, by conducting singularity analysis, the solution can be expressed in the form of a right Painlevè series.
