Abstract: The Korteweg-de Vries equation arising in the theory of shallow water waves, is one of the most well-known dispersive wave equation in the literature, since the study of its conservation laws has been the starting point of the discovery of a great number of techniques to solve evolutionary equations ut+ux+uux+uxxx=0. Peregrine [1] and subsequently Benjamin, Bona and Mahony [2] proposed the equation ut+ux+uux+utxx=0, as an alternative to the Korteweg-de Vries equation for the description of long nonlinear dispersive waves. In [3] Bruzón and Gandarias determined the subclass of equations which are self-adjoint for a family Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equations. By using a general theorem on conservation laws they derived conservation laws for this equation. First of all, Lie point symmetries have been obtained applying the Lie classical method [4, 5]. Several well-known researchers obtain symmetries because they can be used to obtain systematically exact solutions of the equations. In this work we study a generalized BBM-like equation from the point of view of the theory of symmetry reductions in partial differential equations. The BBM-like equation has been proposed by Saha et all in [6] and it possesses solitons, compactons and undular bores. We obtain the Lie symmetries, then, we use the transformations groups to reduce the equations into ordinary differential equations. Physical interpretation of these reductions and some exact solutions are also provided. Local conservation laws are continuity equations that provide conserved quantities of physical importance for all solutions of a particular equation. In addition, the existence of an infinite hierarchy of local conservation laws of a partial differential equation is a strong indicator of its integrability. For any particular partial differential equation, a complete classification of all local low-order conservation laws can be derived by using the multiplier method [7,8,9]. We also derive all low-order conservation laws for the BBM-like equation by using the multiplier method.
