Exact solutions of diffusion-convection equations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In the presented paper known (up to the beginning of 2008) Lie- and non-Lie exact solutions of different (1+1)-dimensional diffusion-convection equations of form f(x)ut=(g(x)A(u)ux)x+h(x)B(u)ux are collected.


In this review article the author presents a brief summary of known exact solutions of variable coefficient \((1+1)\)-dimensional diffusion-convection equations of the form \(f(x)u_t=(g(x)A(u)u_x)_x+h(x)B(u)u_x\) with arbitrary smooth functions of their variables, where \(f(x)g(x)A(u)\neq 0.\) Most of the listed solutions have been obtained with the aid of symmetry methods, such as reduction with respect to Lie and non-Lie symmetries, separation of variables, equivalence transformations. In the Appendix the complete results of group classification of this equation with respect to the extended group of equivalence transformations, are presented.
