Abstract
We analyse nonlinear second-order differential equations in terms of algebraic properties by reducing a nonlinear partial differential equation to a nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equation via the point symmetry f(v)∂v. The eight Lie point symmetries obtained for the second-order ordinary differential equation is of maximal number and a representation of the sl(3,R) algebra. We extend this analysis to a more general nonlinear second-order differential equation and we obtain similar interesting algebraic properties.
期刊介绍:
Acta Polytechnica is a scientific journal published by CTU in Prague. The main title, Acta Polytechnica, is accompanied by the subtitle Journal of Advanced Engineering, which defines the scope of the journal more precisely - Acta Polytechnica covers a wide spectrum of engineering topics, physics and mathematics. Our aim is to be a high-quality multi-disciplinary journal publishing the results of basic research and also applied research. We place emphasis on the quality of all published papers. The journal should also serve as a bridge between basic research in natural sciences and applied research in all technical disciplines. The innovative research results published by young researchers or by postdoctoral fellows, and also the high-quality papers by researchers from the international scientific community, reflect the good position of CTU in the World University Rankings. We hope that you will find our journal interesting, and that it will serve as a valuable source of scientific information.
