Abstract

By means of the classical symmetry method, a hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equation is investigated. The symmetry group is studied and its corresponding group invariant solutions are constructed. Based on the associated vector of the obtained symmetry, the authors construct the group-invariant optimal system of the hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equation, from which two interesting classes of solutions to the hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equation are obtained successfully.
