Approximate Noether-type symmetries and conservation laws via partial Lagrangians for PDEs with a small parameter. (English) Zbl 1158.35306
Summary: We show how one can construct approximate conservation laws of approximate Euler-type equations via approximate Noether-type symmetry operators associated with partial Lagrangians. The ideas of the procedure for a system of unperturbed partial differential equations are extended to a system of perturbed or approximate partial differential equations. These approximate Noether-type symmetry operators do not form a Lie algebra in general. The theory is applied to the perturbed linear and nonlinear $$(1+1)$$ wave equations and the Maxwellian tails equation. We have also obtained new approximate conservation laws for these equations.
