Scalar-field cosmology can be regarded as one of the significant fields of research in recent years. This paper is dedicated to a thorough investigation of the symmetries and conservation laws of the geodesic equations associated to a specific exact cosmological solution of a scalar-field potential which was originally motivated by six-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory. The mentioned string inspired Friedmann-Robertson-Lama i ^ tre-Walker (FRLW) solution is one of the noteworthy solutions of Einstein field equations. For this purpose, first of all the Christoffel symbols and the corresponding system of geodesic equations are computed and then the associated Lie symmetries are totally analyzed. Moreover, the algebraic structure of the Lie algebra of local symmetries is briefly investigated and a complete classification of the symmetry subalgebras is presented. Besides by applying the resulted symmetry operators the invariant solutions of the system of geodesic equations are discussed. In addition, the Noether symmetries and the Killing vector fields of the geodesic Lagrangian are determined and the corresponding optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras is constructed. Mainly, an entire set of local conservation laws is computed for our analyzed scalar-field cosmological solution. For this purpose, two distinct procedures are applied: the celebrated Noether’s theorem and the direct method which is fundamentally based on a systematic application of Euler differential operators which annihilate any divergence expression identically.

This paper is devoted to the comprehensive analysis of the problem of symmetries and conservation laws for the geodesic equations of the Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter (RNdS) black hole with a global monopole. For this purpose, the system of geodesic equations is determined and the corresponding classical Lie point symmetry operators are obtained. An optimal system of one dimensional subalgebras is constructed and a brief discussion about the algebraic structure of the Lie algebra of symmetries is presented. Also, the Noether symmetries of the geodesic Lagrangian is calculated. Finally, by applying two methods including Noether’s theorem and direct method the conservation laws associated to the system of geodesic equations are obtained.

Based on Lie group method, potential symmetry and invariant solutions for generalized quasilinear hyperbolic equations are studied. To obtain the invariant solutions in explicit form, we focus on the physically interesting situations which admit potential symmetries. Then by using the partial Lagrangian approach, we find conservation laws for this equation in three physically interesting cases., Comment: Applied Mathematics and Mechanics(2011) - Springer

In this paper, the problem of determining the largest possible set of symmetries for an important nonlinear dynamical system: the two-dimensional damped Kuramoto—Sivashinsky ((2D) DKS) equation is studied. By applying the basic Lie symmetry method for the (2D) DKS equation, the classical Lie point symmetry operators are obtained. Also, the optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras of the equation is constructed. The Lie invariants as well as similarity reduced equations corresponding to infinitesimal symmetries are obtained. The nonclassical symmetries of the (2D) DKS equation are also investigated.

In this paper, the problem of determining the largest possible set of symmetries for an important nonlinear dynamical system in mathematical physics, the Korteweg–de Vries–Zakharov–Kuznetsov (KdV–ZK) equation, is studied. By applying the basic Lie symmetry method for the KdV–ZK equation, the classical Lie point symmetry operators are obtained. Also, the structure of the Lie algebra of symmetries is discussed and the optimal system of subalgebras of the equation is constructed. The Lie invariants as well as similarity reduced equations corresponding to infinitesimal symmetries are obtained. The non-classical symmetries of the KdV–ZK equation are also investigated.
