Invariant analysis of the multidimensional Martinez Alonso–Shabat equation

Abstract This present study is concerned with the group-invariant solutions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional Martinez Alonso–Shabat equation by using the Lie symmetry method. The Lie transformation technique is used to deduce the infinitesimals, Lie symmetry operators, commutation relations, and symmetry reductions. The optimal system for the obtained Lie symmetry algebra is obtained by using the concept of the adjoint map. As for now, the considered model equation is converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in two cases in the symmetry reductions. The exact closed-form solutions are obtained by applying constraint conditions on the symmetry generators. Due to the presence of arbitrary functional parameters, these group-invariant solutions are displayed based on suitable numerical simulations. The conservation laws are obtained by using the multiplier method. The conclusion is accounted for toward the end.
