Lie symmetry analysis and similarity reductions for the tempered-fractional Keller Segel system

Abstract

We perform a Lie symmetry analysis on the tempered-fractional Keller Segel (TFKS) system, a chemo-taxis model incorporating anomalous diffusion. A novel approach is used to handle the nonlocal nature of tempered fractional operators. By deriving the full set of Lie point symmetries and identifying the optimal one-dimensional subalgebras, we reduce the TFKS PDEs to ordinary differential equations (ODEs), yielding new exact solutions. These results offer insights into the long-term behavior and aggregation dynamics of the TFKS model and present a methodology applicable to other tempered fractional differential equations.
