Abstract

We establish the symmetry reductions of (2+1)- Dimensional Korteweg-de Vries Equation, (ut + u + u3ux + αuxxx)x + βuyy = 0 is subjected to the Lie’s classical method. Classification of its symmetry algebra into one- and two-dimensional subalgebras are carried out in order to facilitate its reduction systematically to (1+1)-dimensional PDEs and then to first or second-order ODEs.
