posted on 2017-10-10, 14:19 authored by Usha RamgulamA diversity of physical phenomena is modelled by systems of nonlinear differential
equations not, in general, amenable to exact solution. However, in certain
cases, exploitation of hidden symmetries in the nonlinear models can lead to solutions
and reduction to canonical systems. Invariance under Lie groups and/or
Bäcklund transformations are two pivotal methods in this regard. [Continues.]
