Using Lie Symmetries in Epidemiology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lie symmetry method has been and still is successfully applied in different problems of physics for about a hundred years, but its application in epidemiology has been rare perhaps because the ordinary differential equations studied in this field are generally of first-order in contrast with those in physics which are usually of second-order. Here we exemplify the use of Lie symmetry method in the study of mathematical models in epidemiology, and show how it complements the mathematical techniques (qualitative and numerical analysis) traditionally used.

A review of the role of symmetries in solving differential equations is presented. After showing some recent results on the application of classical Lie point symmetries to problems in fluid draining, meteorology, and epidemiology of AIDS, the nonclassical symmetries method is presented. Finally, it is shown that iterations of the nonclassical symmetries method yield new nonlinear equations, wh...
