Symmetries and Applications of Differential Equations

This book is about Lie group analysis of differential equations for physical and engineering problems. The topics include: -- Approximate symmetry in nonlinear physical problems -- Complex methods for Lie symmetry analysis -- Lie group classication, Symmetry analysis, and conservation laws -- Conservative difference schemes -- Hamiltonian structure and conservation laws of three-dimensional linear elasticity -- Involutive systems of partial differential equations This collection of works is written in memory of Professor Nail H. Ibragimov (19392018). It could be used as a reference book in differential equations in mathematics, mechanical, and electrical engineering.
