A class of PDEs with nonlinear superposition principles. (English) Zbl 1246.35021

Summary: Through assuming that nonlinear superposition principles (NLSPs) are embedded in a Lie group, a class of 3rd-order PDEs is derived from a general determining equation that determines the invariant group. The corresponding NLSPs and transformation to linearize the nonlinear PDE are found, hence the governing PDE is proved to be \(C\)-integrable. In the end, some applications of the PDEs are explained, which shows that the result has very subtle relations to linearization of partial differential equations.
