Abstract

One of the more interesting solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff (CBS) equation are the soliton solutions. We previously derived a complete group classification for the CBS in (2 +1)-dimensions written as a system of partial differential equations. We now consider the classical Lie symmetries of the CBS equation written in a potential form. We obtain travelling-wave reductions with variable velocity depending on the form of an arbitrary function. The corresponding solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional equation involve arbitrary smooth functions. Consequently the solutions exhibit a rich variety of qualitative behaviours. Indeed by making adequate choices for the arbitrary functions, we exhibit periodic and solitary waves.
