“…By means of the developed frameworks of Lie group, a number of fractional PDEs were investigated such as the fractional dispersive equation 23 , the fractional KdV-type equations 24,25 , the fractional biological population model 26 , the fractional diffusion-type equations 27,28 , and space-time-fractional Kaup-Boussinesq equations. 29 Up to now, the symmetry results of fractional PDEs mainly concentrate on local symmetry, but very little is known about nonlocal symmetry of fractional PDEs. Potential symmetry, the celebrated nonlocal symmetry introduced by Bluman et al 30 , originates from Lie symmetries of the potential system obtained by introducing potential variable to the PDEs having a conserved form, where the compatibility condition of the potential system generates the original PDEs.…”
