On order reduction of non-linear equations of mechanics and mathematical physics, new integrable equations and exact solutions

摘要

Some classes of non-linear equations of mechanics and mathematical physics are described that admit order reduction through the use of a hydrodynamic-type transformation, where a first-order partial derivative is taken as a new independent variable and a second-order partial derivative is taken as the new dependent variable. The results obtained are used for order reduction of hydrodynamic equations (Navier-Stokes, Euler, and boundary layer) and deriving exact solutions to these equations. Associated Backlund transformations are constructed for evolution equations of general form (special cases include Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries, and many other non-linear equations of mathematical physics). A number of new integrable non-linear equations, inclusive of the generalized Calogero equation, are considered.
