Nonzero Lie Brackets of Third Order Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation

Abstract/Overview

Lie symmetry analysis of Ordinary Differential Equation can be used to obtain exact solution of the equation of the form F (x, y, y’ y’’ y’’’) = 0. In this paper we use Lie Symmetry analysis approach to obtain the nonzero Lie brackets of a nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation for heat conduction. The Lie Brackets obtained forms Lie solvable algebra that can be used to reduce the equation to lower order.
