An extended (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation: Symmetry reductions, invariant solutions and dynamics of different solitary waves

The Lie symmetry method is used to obtain a variety of closed-form wave solutions for the extended (3[Formula: see text]+[Formula: see text]1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa (JM) Equation, which describes certain interesting higher-dimensional waves in ocean studies, marine engineering, and other fields. By applying the Lie symmetry technique, we explicitly investigate all the possible vector fields, commutation relations of the considered vectors, and various symmetry reductions of the equation. Based on three stages of Lie symmetry reductions, the JM equation is reduced to several nonlinear ordinary differential equations (NLODEs). Consequently, abundant closed-form wave solutions are achieved, including arbitrary functional parameters. Evolutionary dynamics of some analytic wave solutions are demonstrated through three-dimensional plots based on numerical simulation. Consequently, singular soliton, kink waves, periodic oscillating wave profiles, combined singular soliton profiles, curved-shaped multiple solitons, and periodic multiple solitons with parabolic wave profiles are demonstrated by taking advantage of symbolic computation work. The obtained analytical wave solutions, which include arbitrary independent functions and other constants of the governing equation, could be used to enrich the advanced dynamical behaviors of solitary wave solutions. Furthermore, the study of conservation laws is investigated via the Ibragimov technique for Lie point symmetries.
