Abstract

Potential equivalence transformations (PETs) are effectively applied to a class of nonlinear diffusion-convection equations. For this class all possible potential symmetries are classified and a theorem on connection of them with point ones via PETs is also proved. It is shown that the known non-local transformations between equations under consideration are nothing but PETs. Action of PETs on sets of exact solutions of a fast diffusion equation is investigated.
