Abstract

Ovsiannikov's method of partially invariant solutions of differential equations can be considered to be a special case of the method of differential constraints introduced by Yanenko and by Olver and Rosenau. Differential constraints are used to construct non-reducible partially invariant solutions of the boundary layer or Prandtl equations.
