It is proved that unless a1/a2 is a multiple root of order three of th
e algebraic equation a3 - a4lambda + a5lambda2 - a6lambda3 = 0, the cl
ass of nonlinear evolution equation u(t) + u(x) + a1uu(x) + a2uu(t) a3u(xxx) + a4u(xxt) + a5u(xtt) + a6u(ttt) = 0 (where a(i) is-an-elemen
t-of R, i = 1,2,...,6) has finite number of conservation laws; otherwi
se, the class has infinite number of conservation laws.
