Lie symmetry analysis, particular solutions and conservation laws for the dissipative (2 + 1)- dimensional AKNS equation

Abstract

The dissipative (2 + 1)-dimensional AKNS equation is considered in this paper. First, the Lie symmetry analysis method is applied to the dissipative (2 + 1)-dimensional AKNS and six point symmetries are obtained. Symmetry reductions are performed by utilizing these obtained point symmetries and four differential equations are derived, including a fourth-order ordinary differential equation and three partial differential equations. Thereafter, the direct integration approach and the $ (G'/G^{2})- $expansion method are employed to solve the ordinary differential respectively. As a result, a periodic solution in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function is obtained via the the direct integration approach, while six kinds of including the hyperbolic function types and the hyperbolic function types are derived via the $ (G'/G^{2})- $expansion method. The corresponding graphical representation of the obtained solutions are presented by choosing suitable parametric values. Finally, the multiplier technique and the classical Noether's theorem are employed to derive conserved vectors for the dissipative (2 + 1)-dimensional AKNS respectively. Consequently, eight local conservation laws for the dissipative (2 + 1)-dimensional AKNS equation are presented by utilizing the multiplier technique and five local conservation laws are derived by invoking Noether's theorem.
