On the invariance of a boundary-value problem for a nonlinear evolution equation
This paper deals with invariance properties of a boundary value problem of the following form \[ [f(u_{x}) u_{x}]_{x} - u_{t} = 0, \quad 0 < x < \infty,\;t>0, \tag{1} \] \[ u(x,0)=0,\quad 0<x<\infty,\qquad [f(u_{x})u_{x}]_{x}|_{x=0}=\frac{q}{\lambda}, \tag{2} \] \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} u(x,0) =0; \quad \lim_{x \to \infty} [f(u_{x}) u_{x}]_{x}=0, \quad t > 0, \tag{3} \] where \(q\) and \(\lambda\) are constants. The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Theorem: Any nonlinear evolution equation (1) with an arbitrary differentiable function \(f(u_{x})\) is invariant with respect to the Lie algebra with basis operators \(X_{1}=\partial_{x},\) \(X_{2}=\partial_{t},\) \(X_{3}=\partial_{u},\) \(X_{4}=x\partial_{x}+2t\partial_{t}+u\partial_{u}.\) A formula for particular solutions of the problem (1)--(3) is given.
