LIE SYMMETRY AND EXACT SOLUTION OF (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL GENERALIZED KADOMTSEV-PETVIASHVILI EQUATION WITH VARIABLE COEFFICIENTS

ABSTRACT
The simple direct method is adopted to find Non-Auto-Backlund transformation for variable coefficient non-linear systems. The (2+1)-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation with variable coefficients is used as an example to elucidate the solution procedure, and its symmetry transformation and exact solutions are obtained.
