Abstract

Evolution-type partial differential equations in one space variable are formulated in terms of exterior differential systems. The space of conservation laws is discussed in this geometric context, and a familiar classical condition for conservation laws is derived. It is shown that the generic even-order evolution equation with one space variable possesses no conservation laws of order greater than the order of the equation.
