On symmetry-preserving difference scheme to a generalized Benjamin equation and third-order Burgers equation

In this paper, an exposition of a method is presented for discretizing a generalized Benjamin equation and third-order Burgers equation while preserving their Lie point symmetries. By using local conservation laws, the potential systems of original equation are obtained, which can be used to construct the invariant difference models and symmetry-preserving difference models of original equation, respectively. Furthermore, this method is very effective and can be applied to discrete high-order nonlinear evolution equations.
