Abstract:
Frobenius integrable decompositions are presented for a kind of ninth-order partial differential equations of specific polynomial type. Two classes of such partial differential equations possessing Frobenius integrable decompositions are connected with two rational Bäcklund transformations of dependent variables. The presented partial differential equations are of constant coefficients, and the corresponding Frobenius integrable ordinary differential equations possess higher-order nonlinearity. The proposed method can be also easily extended to the study of partial differential equations with variable coefficients.
