Abstract:

The paper is devoted to an application of Lie group theory to differential equations. The basic infinitesimal method for calculating symmetry group is presented, and used to determine general symmetry group of some differential equations. We include a number of important applications including integration of ordinary differential equations and finding some solutions of partial differential equations together with some examples. A Bianchi theorem for the solvable symmetry groups is given to reduce a system of ordinary differential equations.

Lie Symmetries of Differential Equations by Computer Algebra

Secondly combining group theory and singularity analysis we obtained some information about the similarity solutions of the fourth order generalized Boussinesq equation GBE4. It has been shown that this equation possess a three dimensional Lie algebra of the point symmetries and the similarity reductions due to these symmetries have been obtained.

Computer Algebra Application for Determining Lie and Lie-Bäcklund Symmetries of Differential Equations

The application of computer algebra for determining Lie and Lie–Bäcklund (LB) symmetries of differential equations is considered. Algorithms for calculating the symmetries are developed and implemented on the basis of computer algebra systems REDUCE, AMP and FORMAC. The most effective and advanced program is written in FORMAC. It finds LB symmetries completely automatically. In many cases the p...

Lie Symmetries of Differential Equations Byco~uteralgebra

In this paper we restrict ourselves to Lie point symmetries an applications to the fourth order generalized Burgers equation GBE4. Using computer programs under the computer algebra package MATHEMATIC A we find a three dimensional solvable Lie algebra of point symmetries of the GBE4 equation. The similarity reductions due to these symmetries have also been obtained. The idea of applying Lie gro...

C∞−Symmetries and Reduction of Equations Without Lie Point Symmetries

It is proved that several usual methods of reduction for ordinary differential equations, that do not come from the Lie theory, are derived from the existence of C∞ -symmetries. This kind of symmetries is also applied to obtain two successive reductions of an equation that lacks Lie point symmetries but is a reduced equation of another one with a three dimensional Lie algebra of point symmetrie...

Lie Symmetries of Partial Differential Equations and Cr Geometry

This memoir is divided in three parts 1. Part I endeavours a general, new theory (inspired by modern CR geometry) of Lie symmetries of completely integrable PDE systems, viewed from their associated submanifold of solutions. Part II builds general combinatorial formulas for the prolongations of vector fields to jet spaces. Part III characterizes explicitly flatness of some systems of second ord...

Lie symmetries and differential Galois groups of linear equations

For a linear ordinary differential equation the Lie algebra of its infinitesimal Lie symmetries is compared with its differential Galois group. For this purpose an algebraic formulation of Lie symmetries is developed. It turns out that there is no direct relation between the two above objects. In connection with this a new algorithm for computing the Lie symmetries of a linear ordinary differen...
