Differential constraints

Direct reductions of partial differential equations to systems of ordinary differential equations are in one-to-one correspondence with compatible differential constraints. The differential constraint method is applied to prove that a parabolic evolution equation admits infinitely many characteristic second order reductions, but admits a noncharacteristic second order reduction if and only if it is linearizable.
