Lie Group Classification of Generalized Variable Coefficient Korteweg-de Vries Equation with Dual Power-Law Nonlinearities with Linear Damping and Dispersion in Quantum Field Theory

Abstract

Many physical phenomena in fields of studies such as optical fibre, solid-state physics, quantum field theory and so on are represented using nonlinear evolution equations with variable coefficients due to the fact that the majority of nonlinear conditions involve variable coefficients. In consequence, this article presents a complete Lie group analysis of a generalized variable coefficient damped wave equation in quantum field theory with time-dependent coefficients having dual power-law nonlinearities. Lie group classification of two distinct cases of the equation was performed to obtain its kernel algebra. Thereafter, symmetry reductions and invariant solutions of the equation were obtained. We also investigate various soliton solutions and their dynamical wave behaviours. Further, each class of general solutions found is invoked to construct conserved quantities for the equation with damping term via direct technique and homotopy formula. In addition, Noether’s theorem is engaged to furnish more conserved currents of the equation under some classifications.
