Lie symmetry scheme to the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation with Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative

The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is an essential model to characterize shallow water waves in fluid mechanics. Here, we investigated the generalized time and time-space fractional KdV equation with fractional derivative of Riemann-Liouville. At the beginning of, we applied the fractional Lie symmetry scheme to derive their symmetry, respectively. We found that the vector fields of these considered equations decrease as the independent variables fractionalize. Subsequently, the one-parameter Lie transformation groups of these concerned models were yielded. At the same time, they can be reduced into fractional order ordinary differential equations with the Erd & eacute;lyi-Kober fractional operators. Finally, by obtaining the nonlinear self-adjointness, conservation laws of the generalized time-space fractional KdV equation were also found. These good results provide a basis for us to further understand the phenomenon of shallow water waves.
