Reduction of Algebraic Parametric Systems by Rectification of their Affine Expanded Lie Symmetries

Symbolic Computation 2007-06-13 v1

Abstract

Lie group theory states that knowledge of a mm-parameters solvable group of symmetries of a system of ordinary differential equations allows to reduce by mm the number of equations. We apply this principle by finding some \emph{affine derivations} that induces \emph{expanded} Lie point symmetries of considered system. By rewriting original problem in an invariant coordinates set for these symmetries, we \emph{reduce} the number of involved parameters. We present an algorithm based on this standpoint whose arithmetic complexity is \emph{quasi-polynomial} in input's size.

Comments

Before analysing an algebraic system (differential or not), one can generally reduce the number of parameters defining the system behavior by studying the system's Lie symmetries
