It is shown that each one-parameter subgroup of SL(2, R) gives rise to a local correspondence theorem between suitably generic solutions of arbitrary scalar equations describing pseudo-spherical surfaces. Thus, if appropriate genericity conditions are satisfied, there exist local transformations bet

β¦ Synopsis
We give a complete classification of the evolution equations (\partial u / \partial t=) (F\left(u, \hat{c} u / \partial x, \ldots . \hat{\sigma}^{\star} u / \partial x^{k}\right)) which describe pseudo-spherical surfaces, without any a priori assumptions on the presence of a spectral parameter. We also prove a local existence theorem to the effect that given two differential equations describing pseudo-spherical surfaces (not necessarily evolutionary), there exists, under a technical assumption, a smooth mapping transforming any suitably generic solution of one equation into a solution of the other. 1995 Academic Press.

A complete classification of evolution equations u t =F(x, t, u, u x , ..., u x k ) which describe pseudo-spherical surfaces, is given, thus providing a systematic procedure to determine a one-parameter family of linear problems for which the given equation is the integrability condition. It is show
