How to Find Discrete Contact Symmetries
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a new algorithm for determining all discrete contact symmetries of any differential equation whose Lie contact symmetries are known. The method is constructive and is easy to use. It is based upon the observation that the adjoint action of any contact symmetry is an automorphism of the Lie algebra of generators of Lie contact symmetries. Consequently, all contact symmetries satisfy various compatibility conditions. These conditions enable the discrete symmetries to be found systematically, with little effort.

متن کاملHigher Symmetries of the Elliptic Euler-darboux Equation
We find a remarkable subalgebra of higher symmetries of the elliptic Euler-Darboux equation. To this aim we map such equation into its hyperbolic analogue already studied by Shemarulin. Taking into consideration how symmetries and recursion operators transform by this complex contact transformation, we explicitly give the structure of this Lie algebra and prove that it is finitely generated.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze in detail a special nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of the second order which is important in physical, chemical and technical applications. The present nPDE describes nonlinear diffusion and is of interest in several parts of physics, chemistry and engineering problems alike. Since nature is not linear intrinsically the nonlinear case is t...
متن کاملLie discrete symmetries of lattice equations
We extend two of the methods previously introduced to find discrete symmetries of differential equations to the case of difference and differentialdifference equations. As an example of the application of the methods, we construct the discrete symmetries of the discrete Painlevé I equation and of the Toda lattice equation.
متن کاملNonclassical Contact Symmetries and Charpit’s Method of Compatibility
Charpit’s method of compatibility and the method of nonclassical contact symmetries for first order partial differential equation are considered. It is shown that these two methods are equivalent as Charpit’s method leads to the determining equations arising from the method of nonclassical contact symmetries. Several examples are considered illustrating how Charpit’s method leads quickly and ea...
