Abstract

The fundamental relation between Lie-Backlund symmetry generators andconservation laws of an arbitrary differential equation is derived without regardto a Lagrangian formulation of the differential equation. This relation is used inthe construction of conservation laws for partial differential equations irrespectiveof the knowledge or existence of a Lagrangian. The relation enables one toassociate symmetries to a given conservation law of a differential equation.Applications of these results are illustrated for a range of examples.
