Abstract

We introduce the concept of B-determining equations of a system of partial differential equations that generalize the defining equations of the symmetry groups. We show how this concept may be applied to obtain exact solutions of partial differential equations. The exposition is reasonable self-contained, and supplemented by examples of direct physical importance, chosen from fluid mechanics.
