New interaction solutions of the similarity reduction for the integrable (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation

Abstract

The nonlocal symmetry of the new integrable [Formula: see text]-dimensional Boussinesq equation is studied by the standard truncated Painlevé expansion. This nonlocal symmetry can be localized to the Lie point symmetry of the prolonged system by introducing two auxiliary dependent variables. The corresponding finite symmetry transformation and similarity reduction related to the nonlocal symmetry of the new integrable [Formula: see text]-dimensional Boussinesq equation are studied. The rational solution, the triangle solution, two solitoff-interaction solution and the soliton–cnoidal interaction solutions for the new [Formula: see text]-dimensional Boussinesq equation are presented analytically and graphically by selecting the proper arbitrary constants.
