Lie Symmetry Analysis and Explicit Solutions for the Time-Fractional Regularized Long-Wave Equation

[摘要] This paper systematically investigates the Lie group analysis method of the time-fractional regularized long-wave (RLW) equation with Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. The vector fields and similarity reductions of the time-fractional (RLW) equation are obtained. It is shown that the governing equation can be transformed into a fractional ordinary differential equation with a new independent variable, where the fractional derivatives are in Erdèlyi–Kober sense. Furthermore, the explicit analytic solutions of the time-fractional (RLW) equation are obtained using the power series expansion method. Finally, some graphical features were presented to give a visual interpretation of the solutions.
