Title

Painlevȳ property and group symmetries of the generalized korteweg-de vries equation

Abstract

In this paper we consider some of the analytic properties of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation ut+ upux+ uxxx= 0. We study the Lie group symmetries of the equation and show that for p< 2 there is a three parameter group and if p= 1 or 2 the group has four parameters. The Painlevȳ property is shown to be not satisfied when p< 2. The variational symmetries are also considered and are shown to lead to the only three known conservation laws for general p. © 1994 IOP Publishing Ltd.
