Title: Lie group analysis of two-dimensional variable-coefficient Burgers equation

Abstract:
The talk will discuss the paper [*] about $2+1$ generalization of the Burgers equation

$u_t=A(t)u_{xx}+B(t)u_{yy}+u{u}_x$,

where $A$ and $B$ are some fixed functions. The point symmetries group classification of $(A,B)$ is performed, invariant solutions are found, an example of the antireduction is given, differential invariants and conservation laws are found.
