A Third-Order p-Laplacian Boundary Value Problem Solved by an SL(3,ℝ) Lie-Group Shooting Method

The boundary layer problem for power-law fluid can be recast to a third-order p-Laplacian boundary value problem (BVP). In this paper, we transform the third-order p-Laplacian into a new system which exhibits a Lie-symmetry SL(3,ℝ). Then, the closure property of the Lie-group is used to derive a lin...
