Generalized conditional symmetries and exact solutions of non-integrable equations. (English) Zbl 0850.35097

Summary: We introduce the concept of a generalized conditional symmetry. This concept provides an algorithm for constructing physically important exact solutions of non-integrable equations. Examples include 2-shock and 2-soliton solutions. The existence of such exact solutions for non-integrable equations can be traced back to the relation of these equations with integrable ones. In this sense these exact solutions are remnants of integrability.
