As main results, simple conditions are given for characterizing when a conservation law and its associated conserved quantity are invariant (and, more generally, homogeneous) under the action of a symmetry. These results are used to show that a recent conservation law formula (due to Ibragimov) is equivalent to a standard formula for the action of an infinitesimal symmetry on a conservation law multiplier.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-06T21:20:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symmetry properties", "conservation law multiplier", "partial differential equations", "conservation law formula", "standard formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151201835A" } } }
