Abstract

In this paper we make a full analysis of the symmetry reductions of a generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony- Burgers equation (BBMB) by using the classical Lie method of infinitesimals. The functional forms, for which the BBMB equation can be reduced to ordinary differential equations by classical Lie symmetries, are obtained. We have used the symmetry reductions as a basis for deriving new exact solutions that are invariant with respect to the symmetries. The exact solutions include compactons, solitons, kinks and antikinks.
