22 The Idea of the Direct Construction Method Consider a general DE system R σ [u] = R σ (x, u, u,..., k u) = 0, σ = 1,..., N with variables x = (x 1,..., x n ), u = u(x) = (u 1,..., u m ). Direct Construction Method [Anco, Bluman (1997,2002)] Specify dependence of multipliers: Λ σ = Λ σ(x, U,...), σ = 1,..., N. Solve the set of determining equations E U j (Λ σr σ ) 0, j = 1,..., m, for arbitrary U(x) (off of solution set!) to find all such sets of multipliers. Find the corresponding fluxes Φ i (x, U,...) satisfying the identity Λ σr σ D i Φ i. Each set of fluxes and multipliers yields a local conservation law D i Φ i (x, u,...) = 0, holding for all solutions u(x) of the given PDE system. A.
