14 Approximate Symmetry Analysis ofa Class of Perturbed Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Equations

2014

In this paper, the problem of approximate symmetries of a class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations called Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskounov (KPP) equation is comprehensively analyzed. In order to compute the approximate symmetries, we have applied the method which was proposed by Fushchich and Shtelen [8] and fundamentally based on the expansion of the dependent variables in a perturbation series. Particularly, an optimal system of one dimensional subalgebras is constructed and some invariant solutions corresponding to the resulted symmetries are obtained.

Approximate Symmetry Analysis of a Class of Perturbed Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Equations

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013

The problem of approximate symmetries of a class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations called Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskounov (KPP) equation is comprehensively analyzed. In order to compute the approximate symmetries, we have applied the method which was proposed by Fushchich and Shtelen (1989) and fundamentally based on the expansion of the dependent variables in a perturbation series. Particularly, an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras is constructed and some invariant solutions corresponding to the resulted symmetries are obtained.

Potential symmetry generators and associated conservation laws of perturbed nonlinear equations

Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2004

Some recent results on approximate Lie group methods and previously developed concepts on potential symmetries are extended and applied to (mainly) nonlinear systems perturbed by a small parameter. The potential (or auxilliary) form of the perturbed system necessarily requires a knowledge of an 'approximate' conservation law of the system. We then also use knowledge of 'approximate' potential symmetries to calculate new approximate potential conservation laws.

Group analysis of differential equations: A new type of Lie symmetries

2018

We construct a new type of symmetries using the regular Lie symmetries as the basis, which we call Modified symmetries. The contrast is that while Lie symmetries arise from point transformations, the Modified symmetries result from the transformations of the neighborhood of that point. The similarity is that as the neighborhood contracts to the central point, the two sets of symmetries become indistinguishable from one another, meaning the Modified symmetries will cease to exist if there were no Lie symmetries in the first place. The advantage is that the group invariant solutions are not affected by all these, because they result from ratios of the symmetries, and will therefore exist in the absence of Lie symmetries, i.e,. zero symmetries. Zero symmetries lead to 0/0, and no further. With the Modified symmetries we get f (x, ω)/g(x, ω) = 0/0 as ω goes to zero, and there are numerous mathematical techniques through which this can be resolved. We develop this concept using tensors a...

On the systematic approach to the classification of differential equations by group theoretical methods

Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2009

Complete symmetry groups enable one to characterise fully a given differential equation. By considering the reversal of an approach based upon complete symmetry groups we construct new classes of differential equations which have the equations of Bateman, Monge-Ampère and Born-Infeld as special cases. We develop a symbolic algorithm to decrease the complexity of the calculations involved.

Group theoretic methods for approximate invariants and Lagrangians for some classes of y″+ εF( t) y′+ y= f( y, y′)

International Journal of Non-linear Mechanics, 2002

Some recent results on the Lie symmetry generators of equations with a small parameter and the relationship between symmetries and conservation laws for such equations are used to construct first integrals and Lagrangians for autonomous weakly non-linear systems, y″+εF(t)y′+y=f(y,y′). An adaptation of a theorem that provides the point symmetry generators that leave the invariant functional involving a Lagrangian for such

Comparison of Approximate Symmetry Methods for Differential Equations

Acta Applicandae Mathematicae, 2000

Two current approximate symmetry methods and a modified new one are contrasted. Approximate symmetries of potential Burgers equation and non-Newtonian creeping flow equations are calculated using different methods. Approximate solutions corresponding to the approximate symmetries are derived for each method. Symmetries and solutions are compared and advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed in detail. : 35B20, 35C05, 35K22, 35Q35, 35Q53, 76A05.

Application of Lie group analysis to functional differential equations

Archives of Mechanics

In the present paper the classical point symmetry analysis is extended from partial differential to functional differential equations. In order to perform the group analysis and deal with the functional derivatives, we extend the quantities such as infinitesimal transformations, prolongations and invariant solutions. For the sake of example, the procedure is applied to the functional formulation of the Burgers equation. The method can further lead to important applications in continuum mechanics.
