Symmetry classification and joint invariants for the scalar linear (1+1) elliptic equation

摘要

The equations for the classification of symmetries of the scalar linear (1 + 1) elliptic partial differential equation (PDE) are obtained in terms of Cotton's invariants. New joint differential invariants of the scalar linear elliptic (1 + 1) PDE in two independent variables are derived in terms of Cotton's invariants by application of the infinitesimal method. Joint differential invariants of the scalar linear elliptic equation are also deduced from the basis of the joint differential invariants of the scalar linear (1 + 1) hyperbolic equation under the application of the complex linear transformation. We also find a basis of joint differential invariants for such type of equations by utilization of the operators of invariant differentiation. The other invariants are functions of the basis elements and their invariant derivatives. Examples are given to illustrate our results. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
