A non-variational approach to the construction of new 'higher-order' conservation laws of the family of nonlinear equations α(ut+3uux)+β(utxx+2uxuxx+uuxxx)-γuxxx=0

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, we study and classify the conservation laws of the combined nonlinear KdV, Camassa-Holm, Hunter-Saxton and the inviscid Burgers equation which arises in, inter alia, shallow water equations. It is shown that these can be obtained by variational methods but the main focus of the paper is the construction of the conservation laws as a consequence of the interplay between symmetry generators and 'multipliers', particularly, the higher-order ones.
