Extended symmetry transformation of (3+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrdinger equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, the extended symmetry transformation of （3＋1）-dimensional （3D） generalized nonlinear Schrodinger （NLS） equations with variable coefficients is investigated by using the extended symmetry approach and symbolic computation. Then based on the extended symmetry, some 3D variable coefficient NLS equations are reduced to other variable coefficient NLS equations or the constant coefficient 3D NLS equation. By using these symmetry transformations, abundant exact solutions of some 3D NLS equations with distributed dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain or loss are obtained from the constant coefficient 3D NLS equation.

The extended symmetry approach for studying the general Korteweg-de Vries-type equation

The extended symmetry approach is used to study the general Korteweg-de Vries-type （KdV-type） equation. Several variable-coefficient equations are obtained. The solutions of these resulting equations can be constructed by the solutions of original models if their solutions are well known, such as the standard constant coefficient KdV equation and the standard compound KdV--Burgers equation, and so on. Then any one of these variable-coefficient equations can be considered as an original model to obtain new variable-coefficient equations whose solutions can also be known by means of transformation relations between solutions of the resulting new variable-coefficient equations and the original equation.

Extended Symmetry of Generalized Variable-Coefficient Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation

In this paper, the extended symmetry of generalized variable-coeFficient Kadomtsev-Petviashvili （vcKP） equation is investigated by the extended symmetry group method with symbolic computation. Then on the basis of the extended symmetry, we can establish relation among some different kinds of vcKP equations. Thus the exact solutions of these veKP equations can be constructed via the simple veKP equations or constant-coefficient KP equations.

On Symmetry Flows of Noncommutative Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Hierarchy

We discuss symmetry flows of noncommutative Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (NCKP) hierarchy. An operatorbased formulation, alternative to the star-product approach of extended symmetry flows is presented. Noncommutative additional symmetry flows of the NCKP hierarchy are formulated. A rescaling symmetry flow which is associated with the rescaling of whole coordinates is introduced.

One-Dimensional Symmetry and Liouville Type Results for the Fourth Order Allen-Cahn Equation in R^N

In this paper, the authors prove an analogue of Gibbons' conjecture for the extended fourth order Allen-Cahn equation in R^N, as well as Liouville type results for some solutions converging to the same value at infinity in a given direction. The authors also prove a priori bounds and further one-dimensional symmetry and rigidity results for semilinear fourth order elliptic equations with more general nonlinearities.
