The coefficients of a linear nonconservative system are arbitrary matrices lacking the usual properties of symmetry and definiteness. Classical modal analysis is extended in this paper so as to apply to systems with nonsymmetric coefficients. The extension utilizes equivalence transformations and does not require conversion of the equations of motion to first-order forms. Compared with the state-space approach, the generalized modal analysis can offer substantial reduction in computational effort and ample physical insight.

AbstractWe firstly show how one can use the invariant criteria for a scalar linear (1+1) parabolic partial differential equations to perform reduction under equivalence transformations to the first Lie canonical form for a class of brain tumor models. Fundamental solution for the underlying class of models via these transformations is thereby found by making use of the well-known fundamental solution of the classical heat equation. The closed-form solution of the Cauchy initial value problem of the model equations is then obtained as well. We also demonstrate the utility of the invariant method for the extended form of the class of brain tumor models and find in a simple and elegant way the possible forms of the arbitrary functions appearing in the extended class of partial differential equations. We also derive the equivalence transformations which completely classify the underlying extended class of partial differential equations into the Lie canonical forms. Examples are provided as illustration of the results.
