This equation describes the time evolution of a Newtonian liquid that is considerably thinner in one direction than in the other directions. We include a classification of point symmetries and the corresponding transformation groups. We derive all low-order local conservation laws of the equation in terms of the arbitrary functions. In addition, we discuss the physical meaning of the conserved quantities and provide a useful conservation identity}, keywords = {Thin film equation}, keywords = {Lie symmetries}, keywords = {Conservation laws}, keywords = {Conservation identity}, title = {Conservation laws and Lie symmetries of a (2+1)- dimensional thin film equation}, doi = {10.1007/s10910-018-0945-y}, author = {Recio Rodríguez, Elena and Garrido Letrán, Tamara María and Rosa Silva, Rafael de la and Bruzón Gallego, María de los Santos}, }
