Group analysis for a linear hyperbolic equation arising from a quasilinear reducible system (Q2266381)

The authors investigate the infinitesimal groups related to a second order linear hyperbolic equation in canonical form. They characterize the most general expression for the generator of the Lie group which has an infinite dimensional Lie algebra. Some invariant surfaces in some special cases are discussed as well as the corresponding ordinary differential equations whose integration allows to determine possible classes of solutions are considered.
