Symmetry and Integration Methods for Differential Equations

By George W. Bluman, Stephen Anco, Stephen C. Anco

Book Overview

This book includes a comprehensive treatment of Lie groups of transformations and thorough discussions of basic symmetry methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations. It is particulary suitable for physicists, applied mathematicians and engineers. In this second edition, the authors have added sections on contact transformations and Lie-B cklund transformations, and adjoints and integrating factors for ODEs of arbitrary order. References have also been updated.
