Computation of local symmetries of second-order ordinary differential equations by the Cartan equivalence method

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:1387296)





Based on the Cartan equivalence method the author presents a new proof of Lie's theorem: The dimension of the point symmetry algebra of an equation \(y=F(x,y,y')\) either is equal to 8 or does not exceed 3. Then the author concentrates on equations where \(F\) is a cubic polynomial in \(y'\). Exploiting structure invariants which are revealed in the proof, equations having a three-dimensional algebra of point symmetries are characterized.
