Abstract
In this letter, the Lie point symmetries of a class of Gordon-type wave equations that arise in the Milne space-time are presented and analysed. Using the Lie point symmetries, it is showed how to reduce Gordon-type wave equations using the method of invariants, and to obtain exact solutions corresponding to some boundary values. The Noether point symmetries and conservation laws are obtained for the Klein-Gordon equation in one case. Finally, the existence of higherorder variational symmetries of a projection of the Klein-Gordon equation is investigated using the multiplier approach.
