Searching for Symmetries in PDEs with Mathematica(c)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on searching for symmetries in partial differential equations (PDEs) using Mathematica. Users express the need for specific commands and code examples to obtain generators and symmetries, highlighting that Mathematica requires more manual effort compared to Maple, which has built-in commands for this purpose. A recommendation is made to consult Brian Cantwell's book for Mathematica code related to symmetry analysis, although its currency is uncertain.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with partial differential equations (PDEs)
  • Basic knowledge of Mathematica programming
  • Understanding of symmetry analysis in mathematical contexts
  • Experience with Maple for comparison of tools
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Mathematica commands for symmetry analysis in PDEs
  • Explore Brian Cantwell's book for practical examples and code
  • Learn about built-in commands for symmetry in Maple
  • Investigate additional resources or guides on PDE symmetries
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, researchers in applied mathematics, and students studying PDEs who need to analyze symmetries using Mathematica or compare it with Maple.

Hello,
I have a problem in the search for symmetries in pde.
I would use Mathematica(c), does anyone know how to set up the code to obtain generators and then symmetries?
Thanks for all.

Maple has inbuilt commands, Mathematica requires a LOT of work.
 
What commands I have to use with maple? Do you know a guide for the study of pde' symmetries?
For mathematica do you have an example of pde analysis?
 
It's been over 15 years since I last did this. You might try googling it.
 
The book of Brian Cantwell has mathematica code for symmetry analysis. I don't know how up-to-date it is though.
 
Thanks for all
