Interestingly, this equation admits a Hamiltonian formulation when written as a system. A classification of point symmetries and conservation laws in terms of the function f ( u ) is presented for both, the generalized Boussinesq equation and the equivalent Hamiltonian system. %K Generalized Boussinesq equation %K Conservation laws %K Symmetries %K Potential symmetries %~ Universidad de Cádiz
