Abstract
In this paper, the constant astigmatism equation is investigated, which finds numerous applications in geometry and physics describing surfaces of constant astigmatism. Utilizing a set of non-singular local multipliers, we present a set of local conservation laws for the equation, based on which, we further find a tree of nonlocally related PDE systems. Moreover, by considering these nonlocally related PDE systems, we systematically present Lie symmetries, optimal systems and some interesting analytical solutions of the constant astigmatism equation. Here it is the first time to investigate the nonlocally related PDE systems for this model, which can be used to expand the solution space of the given PDE system. Finally, by using its local conservation laws and variational principle, we obtain four kinds of Lagrangians.
