Abstract

A two-wave mode Korteweg-de Vries equation is investigated by using Lie symmetry analysis. The similarity reductions and new exact solutions are obtained via the simplest equation method. Exact solutions including solitons are shown. In addition, the conservation laws are derived using the multiplier approach.
