Abstract: In 1993, P. Rosenau and J. M. Hyman introduced and studied Korteweg-de-Vries-like equations with nonlinear dispersion admitting compacton solutions, ut+Dx3(un)+Dx(um)=0, m,n>1, which are known as the K(m,n) equations. In the present paper we consider a slightly generalized version of the K(m,n) equations for m=n, namely, ut=aDx3(um)+bDx(um), where m,a,b are arbitrary real numbers. We describe all generalized symmetries and conservation laws thereof for meq−2,−1/2,0,1; for these four exceptional values of m the equation in question is either completely integrable (m=−2,−1/2) or linear (m=1) or trivial (m=0). It turns out that for meq−2,−1/2,0,1 there are only three symmetries corresponding to x- and t-translations and scaling of t and u, and four nontrivial conservation laws, one of which expresses the conservation of energy, and the other three are associated with the Casimir functionals of the Hamiltonian operator mathfrakD=aDx3+bDx admitted by our equation. Our result, extit{inter alia}, provides a rigorous proof of the fact that the K(2,2) equation has just four conservation laws found by P. Rosenau and J. M. Hyman.
