On a new procedure for finding nonclassical symmetries (original) (raw)

Abstract

A new technique for deriving the determining equations of nonclassical symmetries associated with a partial differential equation system is introduced. The problem is reduced to computing the determining equations of the classical symmetries associated with a related equation with coefficients which depend on the nonclassical symmetry operator.
