SAMS Subject Classification Number: 3

In this talk, we study the nonlinear partial differential equation (NLPDE), namely, the Alice Bob-KP equation [1] which has many applications in fields such as dispersive media [2,3] and multicomponent plasmas [4]. Using the technique of Lie symmetry analysis [5], Firstly, we compute the Lie point symmetries of the Alice Bob-KP equation and then perform symmetry reductions. Exact solutions are obtained. Furthermore, conservation laws for this equation are derived using the multiplier method [6].
