Nonclassical symmetries of a class of nonlinear partial differential equations and compatibility

چکیده
Symmetries play an important role in solving partial differential equations. In this paper, the determining equations for a class of nonlinear partial differential equations with arbitrary order are considered. It is shown that the determining equations for the nonclassical reduction can be obtained by requiring the compatibility between the original equation and the invariant surface condition. A simple partial differential equation and BBM equation serve as examples to illustrating the feasibility of this method.

متن کاملNonclassical Contact Symmetries and Charpit’s Method of Compatibility
Charpit’s method of compatibility and the method of nonclassical contact symmetries for first order partial differential equation are considered. It is shown that these two methods are equivalent as Charpit’s method leads to the determining equations arising from the method of nonclassical contact symmetries. Several examples are considered illustrating how Charpit’s method leads quickly and ea...

متن کاملNonclassical Symmetries of a Nonlinear Diffusion-Convection/Wave Equation and Equivalents Systems
Abstract: It is generally known that classical point and potential Lie symmetries of differential equations (the latter calculated as point symmetries of an equivalent system) can be different. We question whether this is true when the symmetries are extended to nonclassical symmetries. In this paper, we consider two classes of nonlinear partial differential equations; the first one is a diffus...
