Abstract
AbstractEquivalence of differential equations is one of the most important concepts in the theory of differential equations. In this paper, the moving coframe method is applied to solve the local equivalence problem for the general form of Burgers’ equation, which has two independent variables under action of a pseudo-group of contact transformations. Using this method, we found the structure equations and invariants of these equations, as a result some conditions for equivalence of them will be given.
