Lie symmetries of Benjamin-Ono equation

Abstract

Lie Symmetry analysis is often used to exploit the conservative laws of nature and solve or at least reduce the order of differential equation. One dimension internal waves are best described by Benjamin-Ono equation which is a nonlinear partial integro-differential equation. Present article focuses on the Lie symmetry analysis of this equation because of its importance. Lie symmetry analysis of this equation has been done but there are still some gaps and errors in the recent work. We claim that the symmetry algebra is of five dimensional. We reduce the model and solve it. We give its solution and analyze them graphically.
