Contact germs and partial differential equations
Abstract
The article introduces contact germs that transform solutions of some partial differential equations into solutions of other equations. Parametric symmetries of differential equations generalizing point and contact symmetries are defined. New transformations and symmetries may depend on derivatives of arbitrary but finite order. The stationary Schr\"odinger equations, acoustics and gas dynamics equations are considered as examples.
