Abstract
It is known that the classification of third-order evolutionary equations with the constant separant possessing a nontrivial Lie–Bäcklund algebra (in other words, integrable equations) results in the linear equation, the KdV equation and the Krichever–Novikov equation. The first two of these equations are nonlinearly self-adjoint. This property allows to associate conservation laws of the equations in question with their symmetries. The problem on nonlinear self-adjointness of the Krichever–Novikov equation has not been solved yet. In the present paper we solve this problem and find the explicit form of the differential substitution providing the nonlinear self-adjointness.
