Coefficients of prolongations for symmetries of ODEs
Sophus Lie developed a systematic way to solve ODEs. He found that transformations which form a continuous group and leave a differential equation invariant can be used to simplify the equation. Lie's method uses the infinitesimal generator of these point transformations. These are symmetries o...
