%0 Journal Article %T On contact symmetries of evolution equations %A Qing Huang %A Renat Zhdanov %A Changzheng Qu %J Physics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X In this paper, we develop an algebraic approach to classifying contact symmetries of the second-order nonlinear evolution equations. Up to contact isomorphisms, all inequivalent PDEs admitting semi-simple algebras, solvable algebras of dimension $n\leq4$, and algebras having nontrivial Levi factors, belonging to the class under consideration, and corresponding contact symmetries they admitted are listed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.2097v1
