TY - JOUR TI - Polynomial characteristic method an easy approach to lie symmetry AU - Tian Yi AU - Wang Kang-Le JN - Thermal Science PY - 2020 VL - 24 IS - 4 SP - 2629 EP - 2635 PT - Article AB - Along the approach to Lie symmetry, it is always needed to solve an over-determined system, which is difficult and complex if not impossible. Here we suggest a new polynomial characteristic method combined with Lie algorithm to complete symmetry classification for a class of perturbed equations. A differential polynomial characteristic set algorithm is proposed to decompose the determining equations into a series of equations easy to be solved.
