Lie symmetry analysis of two dimensional weakly singular integral equations (Q2237981)

One of the most successful approaches to deal with differential equations is the Lie symmetry method. This method can be used for solving ordinary, partial and fractional differential equations that are obtained from mathematical modeling of many practical problems in applied sciences such as engineering and physics. In this paper, symmetry groups of a two-dimensional weakly singular integral equation are discussed. A new method is proposed for the prolongation formula of the given equations. Using the introduced prolongation formula, the authors derive the symmetry groups and invariant solutions of the above-mentioned weakly singular integral equation wherever possible. In order to solve the extracted determining equation, a special approach is proposed. Lastly, symmetry groups for different types of the free terms are presented.
