Abstract

We establish sufficient conditions of reduction of partial differential equations admitting nontrivial conditional symmetry. The results obtained generalize the classical conditions of reduction of differential equations by using group-invariant solutions. Some examples of reduction of systems of partial differential equations both by number of independent and dependent variables are considered.
