RT journal article T1 Equivalence transformations and conservation laws for a generalized variable-coefficient Gardner equation A1 Rosa Silva, Rafael de la A1 Gandarias Núñez, María Luz A1 Bruzón Gallego, María de los Santos A2 Matemáticas K1 Partial differential equations K1 Conservation laws K1 Symmetries K1 Equivalence transformations AB In this paper we study the generalized variable-coefficient Gardner equations of the form $u_t + A (t) u^n u_x + C(t) u^(2 n) u_x + B (t) u_{xxx} + Q(t) u = 0$ . This class broadens out many other equations previously considered: Johnpillai and Khalique (2010), Molati and Ramollo (2012) and Vaneeva et al. (2015). The use of the equivalence group of this class allows us to perform an exhaustive study and a simple and clear formulation of the results. Some conservation laws are derived for the nonlinearly self-adjoint equations by using a general theorem on conservation laws. We also construct conservation laws by applying the multipliers method.
