The search of conditional symmetries of this system leads to a system of five coupled Burgers-like equations. Iterating the procedure, an infinite hierarchy of systems made of an odd number of coupled Burgers-like equations is obtained. Moreover, starting from a pair of Burgers-like equations, a similar hierarchy of systems made of an even number of coupled Burgers-like equations arises; it is also proved that the two hierarchies may be unified. Writing a generic element of this hierarchy as a matrix Burgers' equation, the existence of the matrix Hopf-Cole transformation allows for its linearization and the determination of its solution. Finally, it is shown that each element of the hierarchy possesses a five-dimensional Lie algebra of classical point symmetries. Though these Lie algebras are realized in manifolds with different dimensionality, they are all isomorphic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-08T20:49:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35K10", "58J70", "58J72" ], "keywords": [ "conditional symmetries", "matrix hopf-cole transformation", "five-dimensional lie algebra", "similar hierarchy", "coupled burgers-like equations arises" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
