Abstract

In this paper, further study of the conservation laws of the nonlinear (1+1) wave equation involving two arbitrary functions of the dependent variable is performed. This equation is not derivable from a variational principle. By writing the equation, admitting a partial Lagrangian, in the partial Euler–Lagrange form, partial Noether operators associated with the partial Lagrangian are obtained for all possible cases of the functions. These partial Noether operators do not form a Lie algebra in general. Partial Noether operators aid via a formula in the construction of the conservation laws of the equation. We obtain new conservation laws for the equation which have not been presented in the earlier literature.
