The authors investigate the Euler-Lagrange-Born-Infeld equation in the Minkowski space \({\mathbb{R}}^{1,2}\) using methods of group analysis. The symmetry group of this equation was found by \textit{W. I. Fushchych} and \textit{N. I. Serov} [Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 278, No. 4, 847-851 (1984)]. It contains the Poincaré group \(P(1,3)\) as a subgroup. The group \(P(1,3)\) is the group of rotations and translations in the space \({\mathbb{R}}^{1,3}\) of the independent and dependent variables. To construct ansätze reducing the equation under consideration to differential equations with a smaller number of independent variables, the author uses the invariants of the subgroups of the group \(P(1,3)\), which are given, for example, in the paper of \textit{A. M. Grundland, J. Harnad}, and \textit{P. Winternitz} [J. Math. Phys. 25, 791-806 (1984; Zbl 0599.70026)]. All the possible Lie submodels of the Euler-Lagrange-Born-Infeld equation are obtained. The authors give the exact solutions of this equation for the cases when the reduced equations are ODEs and can be solved in closed form. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0882.00038].
