Nonlinear Galilei-invariant PDEs with infinite-dimensional Lie symmetry (Q5927557)

Nonlinear generalizations of the classical heat and Burgers equations are considered. It is proved that the maximal algebra of invariance for equations in questions is an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra. A principle of superposition of nonlinear solutions is proposed. Lie symmetries of the Lie algebra are used for the construction of ansatze and reduction to ordinary differential equations. Classes of multi-dimensional generalizations of reaction-diffusion-convection equations admitting the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra as isotropic and anisotropic medium are constructed. There are found the full sets of absolute differential invariants for two non-equivalent representations of the Galilei algebra are given.
