Linearization of Second-Order Ordinary Differential Equations by Generalized Sundman Transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The linearization problem of a second-order ordinary differential equation by the generalized Sundman transformation was considered earlier by Duarte, Moreira and Santos using the Laguerre form. The results obtained in the present paper demonstrate that their solution of the linearization problem for a second-order ordinary differential equation via the generalized Sundman transformation is not complete. We also give examples which show that the Laguerre form is not sufficient for the linearization problem via the generalized Sundman transformation.

On Linearization by Generalized Sundman Transformations of a Class of Liénard Type Equations and Its Generalization
We study the linearization of a class of Liénard type nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations from the generalized Sundman transformation viewpoint. The linearizing generalized Sundman transformation for the class of equations is constructed. The transformation is used to map the underlying class of equations into a linear second-order ordinary differential equation which is not ...
متن کاملλ−Symmetries and linearization of ordinary differential equations through nonlocal transformations ?
A recent study (Muriel and Romero (2010a)) on the linearization of ordinary differential equations through generalized Sundman transformations suggests considering the problem of linearization through nonlocal transformations from the point of view of the λ−symmetries admitted by the equation and their associated first integrals. The systematic methods to calculate λ−symmetries and associated f...

It turned out that there exist nonlinear superposition principles for solutions of special second-order ordinary difference equati...
متن کاملOn the complete integrability and linearization of nonlinear ordinary differential equations - Part V: Linearization of coupled second order equations
Linearization of coupled second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (SNODEs) is one of the open and challenging problems in the theory of differential equations. In this paper we describe a simple and straightforward method to derive linearizing transformations for a class of two coupled SNODEs. Our procedure gives several new types of linearizing transformations of both invertible ...
