Group properties and solutions for the 1D Hall MHD system in the cold plasma approximation

Abstract

We study the Lie point symmetries and the similarity transformations for the partial differential equations of the nonlinear one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic system with the Hall term known as HMHD system. For this 1+1 system of partial differential equations we find that is invariant under the action of a seventh dimensional Lie algebra. Furthermore, the one-dimensional optimal system is derived while the Lie invariants are applied for the derivation of similarity transformations. We present different kinds of oscillating solutions.
