This work was partially supported by EPSRC grant No. GR/M61450 and by DGES grant PB98-0821.A method for constructing evolution equations admitting a master symmetry is proposed. Several examples illustrating the method are presented. It is also noted that for certain evolution equations master symmetries can be useful for obtaining new conservation laws from a given one.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0375-9601(01)00836-2http://www.sciencedirect.comhttp://arxiv.org/abs/nlin/0112002open access51-73Master symmetriesIntegrable evolution equationsConservation lawsFísica-Modelos matemáticosFísica matemática
