Nonlocal symmetries and similarity reductions for Korteweg-de Vries-negative-order Korteweg-de Vries equation

The nonlocal symmetries are derived for the Korteweg–de Vries–negative-order Korteweg–de Vries equation from the Painlevétruncation method.The nonlocal symmetries are localized to the classical Lie point symmetries for the enlarged system by introducing new dependent variables.The corresponding similarity reduction equations are obtained with different constant selections.Many explicit solutions for the integrable equation can be presented from the similarity reduction.
