Abstract:
We show that the generalized short pulse equation is nonlinearly self-adjoint with differential substitution.Moreover,any adjoint symmetry is a differential substitution of nonlinear self-adjointness,and vice versa.Consequently,the general conservation law formula is constructed and new conservation laws for some special cases are found.
