Description
Summary:In this paper, the time-fractional Fujimoto–Watanabe equation is investigated using the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. Symmetry groups and similarity reductions are obtained by virtue of the Lie symmetry analysis approach. Meanwhile, the time-fractional Fujimoto–Watanabe equation is transformed into three kinds of reduced equations and the third of which is based on Erdélyi–Kober fractional integro-differential operators. Furthermore, the conservation laws are also acquired by Ibragimov’s theory.
