Abstract

In this paper we study the property of nonlinear self-adjointness for a class of nonlinear fourth-order equation. It is shown that if an equation itself is a conservation law then it possesses the property of nonlinear self-adjointness and hence it can be rewritten in an equivalent strictly self-adjoint form. The property of nonlinear self-adjointness is used to obtain all nontrivial conservation laws for the class under consideration.
