Description

A Type II hidden symmetry of the non-linear second heavenly equation in gravitational physics is identified. Its provenance from other partial differential equations is studied. Two reductions of the second heavenly equation produce the Monge-Ampere equation in similarity variables and new analytic solutions are possible
