We relate Kaptsov's method of B-determining equations for finding invariant solutions of PDEs to the nonclassical method and to the method of generalised conditional symmetries. An extension of Kaptsov's method is then used to find new solutions of degenerate diffusion equations.

Network reconfiguration for loss minimization is the determination of switching-options that minimizes the power losses for a particular set of loads on a distribution system. In this paper, a novel method is proposed by formulating an algorithm to reconfigure distribution networks for loss minimization. An efficient technique is used to determine the switching combinations, select the status of the switches, and find the best combination of switches for minimum loss. In the first stage of the proposed algorithm, a limited number of switching combinations is generated and the best switching combination is determined. In the second stage, an extensive search …
