Consider the partial differential equation
where and are non-negative integers.
(i) Find a Lie point symmetry of of the form
where are non-zero constants, and find a vector field generating this symmetry. Find two more vector fields generating Lie point symmetries of (*) which are not of the form and verify that the three vector fields you have found form a Lie algebra.
(ii) Put in a Hamiltonian form.
