文摘We exploit higher-order conditional symmetry to reduce initial-value problems for evolution equations toCauchy problems for systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs).We classify a class of fourth-order evolutionequations which admit certain higher-order generalized conditional symmetries (GCSs) and give some examples to showthe main reduction procedure.These reductions cannot be derived within the framework of the standard Lie approach,which hints that the technique presented here is something essential for the dimensional reduction of evolu tion equations.
