Abstract
We discuss Lie algebras of the Lie symmetry groups of two
generically non-integrable equations in one temporal and two space
dimensions arising in different contexts. The first is a
generalization of the KP equation and contains 9 arbitrary functions
of one and two arguments. The second one is a system of PDEs that
depend on some physical parameters. We require that these PDEs are
invariant under a Kac-Moody-Virasoro algebra. This leads to several
limitations on the coefficients (either functions or parameters)
under which equations are prime candidates for being integrable.
Key words:
Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and Davey-Stewartson equations; symmetry group; Virasoro algebra.
