By means of the classical symmetry method,a hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equation is investigated.The symmetry group is studied and its corresponding group invariant solutions are constructed.Based on the associated vector of the obtained symmetry,the authors construct the group-invariant optimal system of the hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equation,from which two interesting classes of solutions to the hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equation are obtained successfully.
