We find the equivalence groupoid of a~class of $(1+1)$-dimensional second-order evolution equations, which are called generalized potential Burgers equations. This class is related via potentialization with two classes of…
We use a trick similar to Weinberg's for adiabatic modes, in a Manton approximation for general relativity on manifolds with spatial boundary. This results in a description of the slow-time dependent solutions as null geodesics on the space…
We consider a Lie algebra generalizing the Virasoro algebra to the case of two space variables. We study its coadjoint representation and calculate the corresponding Euler equations. In particular, we obtain a bi-Hamiltonian system that…
We consider nonlinear wave structures described by the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation with taking into account a small Burgers viscosity for the case of step-like initial conditions. The Whitham modulation equations are derived which…
Let $E$ be a finite-dimensional real vector space and $M\subseteq E$ be a convex polytope with non-empty interior. We turn the group of all $C^\infty$-diffeomorphisms of $M$ into a regular Lie group.
We find the complete equivalence group of a class of (1+1)-dimensional second-order evolution equations, which is infinite-dimensional. The equivariant moving frame methodology is invoked to construct, in the regular case of the…
The aim of this paper is to propose methods that enable us to build new numerical schemes, which preserve the Lie symmetries of the original differential equations. To this purpose, the compound Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries (\textit{CBKDV})…

Nonconservative evolution problems describe irreversible processes and dissipative effects in a broad variety of phenomena. Such problems are often characterised by a conservative part, which can be modelled as a Hamiltonian term, and a…
We study the class of 3-dimensional nonlinear 2-hessian equations mentioned in the text. We perform preliminary group classification on 2-hessian equation. In fact, we find additional equivalence transformation on the space (x,y,z,u,f),…
In this paper, the two-dimensional periodic $b$-equation is discussed under geometric aspects, i.e., as a geodesic flow on the diffeomorphism group of the torus $\T=S^1\times S^1$. In the framework of Arnold's [V.I. Arnold, Sur la…
We study geodesics on hypersurfaces close to the standard (n-1)-dimensional sphere in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Following Poincar\'e, we treat the problem within the framework of the analytical mechanics, and employ the perturbation…
The problem of linearization for third order evolution equations is considered. Criteria for testing equations for linearity are presented. A class of linearizable equations depending on arbitrary functions is obtained by requiring presence…
We determine, for all three-dimensional non-unimodular Lie groups equipped with a Lorentzian metric, the set of homogeneous geodesics through a point. Together with the results of [C] and [CM2], this leads to the full classification of…
By using a time-dependent operator converting a distribution function (statistical operator) of a total system under consideration into the relevant form, new exact nonlinear generalized master equations (GMEs) are derived. The…
In this paper we show that if one writes down the structure equations for the evolution of a curve embedded in an (n)-dimensional Riemannian manifold with constant curvature this leads to a symplectic, a Hamiltonian and an hereditary…
