Notes:
The structure of the local Lie groups of symmetries of some partial differential equations of the Fokker–Planck type in one space dimension is investigated. A connection between these groups and the group SL2(R) is established in the sense that they are all shown to be locally isomorphic to SL2(R)A, where A is the radical. It is conjectured that the groups of Lie symmetries of all Fokker–Planck equations in one space dimension have this structure. The notion of partial invariance, due to Ovsiannikov, is applied to the equations studied. It appears plausible that the class of partially invariant solutions of these equations is larger than the class of invariant solutions although no explicit demonstration of this claim is available at present.
