Abstract
The aim of this paper is to compute the exact solutions and conservation of a generalized (1 + 1) dimensional system. This can be achieved by employing symbolic manipulation software such as Maple, Mathematica, or MATLAB. In theoretical physics and in many scientific applications, the mentioned system naturally arises. Time, space, and scaling transformation symmetries lead to novel similarity reductions and new exact solutions. The solutions obtained include solitary waves and cnoidal and snoidal waves. The familiarity of closed-form solutions of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations enables numerical solvers and supports stability analysis. Although many efforts have been dedicated to solving nonlinear evolution equations, there is no unified method. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that Lie point symmetry analysis in conjunction with an ansatz method has been applied on this underlying equation. It should also be noted that the methods applied in this paper give a unique solution set that differs from the newly reported solutions. In addition, we derive the conservation laws of the underlying system. It is also worth mentioning that this is the first time that the conservation laws for the equation under study are derived.
1. Introduction
The illustrious equation
is an example of a nonlinear evolution equation (NLEE) [,]. The term describes the time evolution of the wave [,] and, as such, (1) is considered an evolution equation. The nonlinear term accounts for the steepening of the wave [,], whereas the linear dispersive term describes the spreading of the wave [,]. Moreover, this essential equation illustrates the subtleties of solitary waves. Primarily, it was developed to portray shallow water waves of long wavelength and small amplitude. Equation (1) is a significant equation in the theory of integrable systems since it has an infinite number of conservation laws, multiple-soliton solutions, and many other physical properties [].
The modified KdV (mKdV) equation is similar
to the KdV equation in the sense that both of them are completely integrable, and each has many conserved quantities. The mKdV equation arises in electric circuits and multi-component plasmas. The mKdV equation yields algebraic soliton solutions in the form of rational functions. The stability and instability circumstances of algebraic solitons of the mKdV equation have been investigated extensively.
Numerous variations of the above equations [,,,] have been introduced by many scientists, especially coupled systems of the above equations. Among these variations is the coupled KdV-mKdV system []:
ut + uxxx − 6uux + 3vvxxx + 3vxvxx − 3uxv2 + 6uvvx = 0,
vt + vxxx − 3v2vx − 3uvx + 3vux = 0.
The aim of this paper is to compute the exact solutions and conservation of a generalized (1 + 1) dimensional system:
where a and b are arbitrary constants. The motivation for computing closed-form solutions of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations is that it enables numerical solvers and supports stability analysis. Although many efforts have been dedicated to solving nonlinear evolution equations, there is no unified method. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that Lie point symmetry analysis in conjunction with an ansatz method has been applied to this underlying equation. It should also be noted that the methods applied in this paper give a unique solution set that differs from the newly reported solutions. In addition, we derive the conservation laws of the underlying system. It is also worth mentioning that this is the first time that the conservation laws for the equation under study are derived.
ut + uxxx + auux + bvvxxx + bvxvxx − buxv2 + auvvx = 0,
vt + vxxx − bv2vx − buvx − bvux = 0.
2. Lie Point Symmetries of (4)
The infinitesimal generator [,,]

where is the third extension of (5). The infinitesimal invariance criterion (6) is considered the determining equation as it generates the defining or the determining equations of (4). The above algorithmic procedure leads to following theorem courtesy of symbolic manipulation.
Theorem 1.
The infinitesimal point symmetries of (4) form the three-dimensional Lie algebra spanned by the following linearly independent operators:

−G2bGζk1 − FbGζk1 − GbFζk1 + Gζζζk13 + Gζk2 = 0.
4. Exact Solutions Using an Anstaz Method
An ansatz method is used to solve the system (10) and, as a result, we obtain the exact solutions of our system (4).
Let us consider the solutions of (10) in the form
where satisfies the associated auxiliary equation, M is a positive integer, and , are parameters to be determined. The auxiliary equations and their associated solutions are given as follows:
respectively, and are non-zero arbitrary real constants.
4.1. Solutions of (4) Using (13)
The balancing procedure yields so the solutions of (10) are of the form
F(ζ) = A0 + A1Ψ(ζ) + A2Ψ(ζ)2 + A3Ψ(ζ)3 + A4Ψ(ζ)4,
G(ζ) = B0 + B1Ψ(ζ) + B2Ψ(ζ)2
Substituting (25) into (10), making use of (13), and then equating all coefficients of the functions to zero, we obtain an algebraic system of equations in terms of and ,. Upon solving the system of algebraic equations with the aid of Mathematica, we obtain the following solutions:
The parameter can be computed from the above fourth-degree polynomial in .

This subsection aims to employ the methodology in Section 4.1. This leads to the following solutions of the system (4):
It must be mentioned that parameter can be computed symbolically from the above fourth-degree polynomial in .
4.4. Solutions of (4) Using (16)
This subsection aims to substitute (25) into (10) by making use of (16) and then equating all coefficients of the functions to zero; we obtain an algebraic system of equations in terms of and ,. Solving this system, one obtains the following solutions:
u(x,t) = A0 + A1cn(ζ|w) + A2cn2(ζ|w) + A3cn3(ζ|w) + A4cn4(ζ|w),

Remark 3.
Various methods to solve partial differential equations have been presented in the literature; there is no unified method. Here, for the first time, the above ansatz method is applied to search solutions for the underlying system. The familiarity of closed-form solutions of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations enables numerical solvers and supports stability analysis. Closed-form solutions of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations can serve as benchmarks against numerical simulations of the underlying equation. Indeed, the exact solutions offered in this paper relate to homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits in phase space, which are the separatrices of steady and volatile regions.
5. Conservation Laws
A local conservation law is of the form []
which holds for all solutions of Equation (4). is a conserved density, while denotes spatial flux. are functions of and derivatives of . The multipliers of Equation (4) are determined by invoking the Euler Lagrange operator on Equation (4) and we obtain
Solving the above equations prompts this proposition.
Proposition 1.
A generalized (1 + 1) dimensional system (4) admits the multiplier of the form
Thus, corresponding to the above multiplier, we derive the following conserved vectors:
Remark 4.
Conservation laws are valuable in the numerical integration of partial differential equations—for example, to control numerical errors. The Korteweg–de Vries equation’s conservation laws were the primary point of discovery for many approaches to solving evolutionary equations. Conservation laws play a fundamental role in the theory of non-classical transformations, standard forms, and asymptotic integrability.
6. Concluding Remarks
Modern group analysis was systematically performed here, pioneering a generalized (1 + 1) dimensional system. The infinitesimal generators consisted of time translation, space translation, and a scaling transformation. Similarity reductions and exact solutions with an ansatz method were derived. Finally, conservation laws were computed.
