Abstract
Finding the symmetries of the nonlinear fractional differential equations is a topic which has many applications in various fields of science and engineering. In this manuscript, firstly, we are interested in finding the Lie point symmetries of the time-fractional Boussinesq equation. After that, by using the infinitesimal generators, we determine their corresponding invariant solutions.
