摘要
A simple conservation law formula for field equations with a scaling symmetry is presented. The formula uses adjoint-symmetries of the given field equation and directly generates all local conservation laws for any conserved quantities having non-zero scaling weight. Applications to several soliton equations, fluid flow and nonlinear wave equations, Yang-Mills equations and the Einstein gravitational field equations are considered.
