Abstract

The construction of conserved vectors using Noether’s and partial Noether’s theorems are carried out for high order PDEs with mixed derivatives. The resultant conserved flows display some interesting ‘divergence properties’ owing to the existence of the mixed derivatives. These are spelled out for various equations from mathematical physics.
Keywords: Noether’s theorem; mixed derivatives; conservation laws Noether’s theorem; mixed derivatives; conservation laws
