Abstract
Starting from nonlocal symmetries related to Bäcklund transformation (BT), many interesting results can be obtained. Taking the well-known potential KdV (pKdV) equation as an example, a new type of nonlocal symmetry in an elegant and compact form which comes from BT is presented and used to perform research works in two main subjects: the nonlocal symmetry is localized by introducing suitable and simple auxiliary-dependent variables to generate new solutions from old ones and to consider some novel group invariant solutions; some other models both in finite and infinite dimensions are generated under new nonlocal symmetry. The finite-dimensional models are completely integrable in Liouville sense, which are shown equivalent to the results given through the nonlinearization method for Lax pair.
