Contact symmetries and solutions by reduction of partial differential equations.
(English)
[J] J. Phys. A, Math. Gen. 27, No.1, 177-184 (1994). ISSN 0305-4470

Summary: The correspondence between a contact symmetry of a second-order PDE ${\cal E}$ and a point symmetry of the equivalent first order system ${\cal S}$ is used to determine a class of solutions for ${\cal E}$ which may not always be invariant under contact transformation. We name these solutions pseudo-invariant because they are determined from a point symmetry of ${\cal S}$ via a reduction method. Invariant solutions under the related contact transformation are included in the family of pseudo- invariant solutions.
