Transformations of differential equations to other equivalent equations play a central role in many routines for solving intricate equations. A class of differential equations that are particularly amenable to solution techniques based on such transformations is the class of linearisable second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). There are various characterisations of such ODEs. We exploit a particular characterisation and the expanded Lie group method to construct a generic solution for all linearisable second-order ODEs. The general solution of any given equation from this class is then easily obtainable from the generic solution through a point transformation constructed using only two suitably chosen symmetries of the equation. We illustrate the approach with three examples.

The diffusion equation is discretized in spacial direction and transformed into the ordinary differential equations. The ordinary differential equations are solved by Lie group method and the explicit Runge-Kutta method. Numerical results showed that Lie group method is more stable than the corresponding explicit Runge-Kutta method.

Abstract In this paper the fundamental concept (due to Euler, 1734) of how to make a first order ordinary differential equation exact by means of integrating factors, is extended to n-th order (n ≥ 2) ordinary differential equations and to systems of first order ordinary differential equations. For new classes of differential equations first integrals or complete solutions can be constructed. Also a perturbation method based on integrating factors can be developed. To show how this perturbation method works the method is applied to the well-known Van der Pol equation.

ABSTRACTThe Lie group transformation method is applied for solving the problem of mixed convection flow with mass transfer over a permeable stretching surface with Soret and Dufour effects. The application of Lie group method reduces the number of independent variables by one and consequently the system of governing partial differential equations reduces to a system of ordinary differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions. Further, the reduced non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using the shooting method. The effects of various parameters governing the flow and heat transfer are shown through graphs and discussed. Our aim is to detect new similarity variables which transform our system of partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations. In this work a special attention is given to investigate the effect of the Soret and Dufour numbers on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields above the sheet.

This paper deals with a numerical comparison between Lie group method and RK4 for solving an nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The Lie group method will be introduced as a analytical method and then compared to RK4 as a numerical method. Some examples will be considered and the global error we be computed numerically.

This paper presents a framework for a strapdown Inertial Navigation System (INS) algorithm design by using Lie group and Lie algebra. The general way to solve Lie group differential equations is introduced. Investigations reveal that this general Lie group method provides a simpler unified way to solve differential equations involving direction cosine matrix, quaternion and dual quaternion, which are widely used in INS algorithm design. Furthermore, we also present a new INS algorithm based on the Special Euclidean group se(3) under the guidelines of Lie group method. Analyses show that se(3) algorithm has the same accuracy as a dual quaternion algorithm, this is also justified by numerical simulations. Though the se(3) algorithm has no improvements in accuracy, the general Lie group method used in the design process shows its brevity and uniformity.
