The method of constructing particular solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations based on the notion of differential constraint (or invariant manifold) is well known in the literature, see (Yanenko, 1961; Sidorov et al., 1984). The matter of the method is to add a compatible equation to a given equation and as a rule, the compatible equation is simpler. Such technique allows one to find particular solutions to a studied equation. In works (Pavlova et al., 2017; Habibullin et al., 2017, 2018; Khakimova, 2018; Habibullin et al., 2016, 2017, 2018) there was proposed a scheme for constructing the Lax pairs and recursion operators for integrable partial differential equations based on the use of similar idea. A suitable generalization is to impose a differential constraint not on the equation, but on its linearization. The resulting equation is referred to as a generalized invariant manifold. In works (Pavlova et al., 2017; Habibullin et al., 2017, 2018; Khakimova, 2018; Habibullin et al., 2016, 2017, 2018) it is shown that generalized invariant varieties allow efficient construction of Lax pairs and recursion operators of integrable equations.
