Nature of problem:
The program allows the classification of N ≥ 1 supersymmetric nonlinear scaling-invariant evolution equations {ft = φf, bt = φb} that admit infinitely many local symmetries propagated by recursion operators; here b(x, t; θ) is the set of bosonic super-fields and f(x; t; θ) are fermionic super-fields.

Solution method:
First, (half-)integer weights |f|, |b|, . . ., |Dt|, |Dx| ≡ 1 are assigned to all variables and derivatives and then pairs of commuting flows that are homogeneous w.r.t. these weights are constructed. Secondly, the seeds of higher symmetry sequences [2] for the systems are sorted out, and finally the recursion operators that generate the symmetries are obtained [3]. The intermediate algebraic systems upon the undetermined coefficients are solved by using [4].

Restrictions:
Computation of symmetries of high differential order for very large evolutionary systems may cause memory restrictions. Additional size/time restrictions may occur if the homogeneity weights of some super-fields are non-positive, see section 1.2 of the LongWrite- Up.

Unusual features:
SsTools has been extensively tested using hundreds of PDE systems within three years on UNIX-based PC-machines. SsTools is applicable to the computation of symmetries, conservation laws, and Hamiltonian structures for N ≥ 1 evolutionary super-systems with any N. SsTools is also useful for performing extensive arithmetic of general nature including differentiations of super-field expressions.

Running time:
depends on the size and complexity of the input system and varies between seconds and minutes.
