The groups of equivalence transformations for a family of first order partial differential equations of balance form are investigated. Equivalence transformations map a specific class of equations involving arbitrary functions or parameters into the same class. In that sense equivalence groups are much more general than symmetry groups.The method of attack to this problem is based on the exterior...
