Classical Lie symmetries and reductions of a nonisospectral Lax pair

The classical Lie method is applied to a nonisospectral problem associated with a system of partial differential equations in 2+1 dimensions (Maccari A, J. Math. Phys. 39, (1998), 6547-6551). Identification of the classical Lie symmetries provides a set of reductions that give rise to different nontrivial spectral problems in 1+1 dimensions. The form in which the spectral parameter of the 1+1 Lax pair is introduced is carefully described.Comment: 11 pages (v2: A typo corrected in the authors' names

Non-classical symmetries and the singular manifold method: A further two examples

This paper discusses two equations with the conditional Painleve property. The usefulness of the singular manifold method as a tool for determining the non-classical symmetries that reduce the equations to ordinary differential equations with the Painleve property is confirmed once moreComment: 9 pages (latex), to appear in Journal of Physics

Miura Transformation between two Non-Linear Equations in 2+1 dimensions

A Dispersive Wave Equation in 2+1 dimensions (2LDW) widely discussed by different authors is shown to be nothing but the modified version of the Generalized Dispersive Wave Equation (GLDW). Using Singularity Analysis and techniques based upon the Painleve Property leading to the Double Singular Manifold Expansion we shall find the Miura Transformation which converts the 2LDW Equation into the GLDW Equation. Through this Miura Transformation we shall also present the Lax pair of the 2LDW Equation as well as some interesting reductions to several already known integrable systems in 1+1 dimensions.Comment: 14 pages, latex.
