Abstract

In this paper, the problem of determining the most general Lie point approximate symmetries group for the nonlinear filtration equation with a small parameter is analyzed. By applying the basic Lie approximate symmetry method for the nonlinear filtration equation with a small parameter, the classical Lie point approximate symmetry operators are obtained. Also, the algebraic structure of the Lie algebra of approximate symmetries is discussed and an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras of the nonlinear filtration equation with a small parameter, symmetry algebra which creates the preliminary classification of group invariant solutions is constructed. Particularly, the Lie invariants as well as similarity reduced equations corresponding to infinitesimal symmetries and group invariant solutions associated to the symmetries are obtained.
