POLYNOMIAL CHARACTERISTIC METHOD AN EASY APPROACH TO LIE SYMMETRY

ABSTRACT
Along the approach to Lie symmetry, it is always needed to solve an over-determined system, which is difficult and complex if not impossible. Here we suggest a new polynomial characteristic method combined with Lie algorithm to complete symmetry classification for a class of perturbed equations. A differential polynomial characteristic set algorithm is proposed to decompose the determining equations into a series of equations easy to be solved.
