LIE SYMMETRY ANALYSIS TO THE WEAKLY COUPLED KAUP–KUPERSHMIDT EQUATION WITH TIME FRACTIONAL ORDER

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to apply the Lie group analysis method to the weakly coupled Kaup–Kupershmidt (KK) equation with time fractional order. We considered the symmetry analysis, explicit solutions to the weakly coupled time fractional KK (TF-KK) equation with Riemann–Liouville (RL) derivative. The weakly coupled TF-KK equation is reduced to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) of fractional order. We solve the reduced fractional ODE using the sub-equation method.
