We consider scalar (1 + 1)-dimensional evolution equation of order n ≥ 2, which possesses time-independent formal symmetry (i.e. it is integrable in the sense of symmetry approach), shared by all local generalized time-independent symmetries of this equation. We show that if such equation possesses the nontrivial canonical conserved density ρm, m ∈ {−1, 1, 2, . . .}, then it has no polynomial i...
