SYMMETRY GROUP ANALYSIS OF WEAK SOLUTIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 April 2002
Abstract
Methods of Lie group analysis of differential equations are extended to weak solutions of (linear and non-linear) partial differential equations, where the term `weak solution' comprises the following settings: distributional solutions; solutions in generalized function algebras; solutions in the sense of association (corresponding to a number of weak or integral solution concepts in classical analysis). Factorization properties and infinitesimal criteria that allow the treatment of all three settings simultaneously are developed, thereby unifying and extending previous work in this area.
