Conservation laws for nonlinear telegraph equations (Q2568192)

The authors give the complete conservation law classification for nonlinear telegraph systems of the form \[ H_1[u,v]=v_t-F(u)u_x-G(u)=0, H_2[u,v]=u_t-v_x=0,\tag{1} \] with respect to a class of multipliers that are functions of the independent and dependent variables of the system. It is shown that a large class of nonlinear telegraph systems possesses four local conservation laws. The pairs of \(F(u),G(u)\) admitting conservation laws together with corresponding multipliers, fluxes and densities are presented in tables. Reviewer's remarks: The complete point symmetry classification of the system (1) is given in [\textit{G. W. Bluman, Temuerchaolu} and \textit{R. Sahadevan}, Local and nonlocal symmetries for nonlinear telegraph equations, J. Math. Phys. 46, No. 2, 023505 (2005; Zbl 1076.35077)], where the classification of the conservation laws of (1) for various forms of \(F(u)\) and \(G(u)\) is not presented.
