The geometry of differential constraints for a class of evolution PDEs (Q2197167)

This paper revisits the problem of computing explicit differential constraints for a family of evolution PDEs. After discussing the previous appoaches from the literature, the authors propose a new method based on the existence of generalized characteristics for evolution vector fields. Then they demonstrate the method and discuss its effectiveness on several examples, including applications in nonlinear stochastic filtering theory, stochastic perturbation of soliton equations and non-isospectral integrable systems.
