Symbolic Symmetry Analysis and
Its Applications
at
the
14th
International Conference on
Applications of Computer Algebra
RISC, Castle of Hagenberg, Linz, Austria, July 27 - 30, 2008
Organizers
Nicoleta Bila - Fayetteville State University & Irina Kogan - North Carolina State University
Motivation
Phenomena observed in nature often have symmetry properties. These symmetry properties are inherited by the equations that model these phenomena and can be exploited to either obtain explicit solutions, or an important geometric information about the solution set. Symmetry analysis links various research disciplines including differential equations, differential and algebraic geometry, numerical analysis, and symbolic computation. Over the years, new types of symmetries have been studied, such as nonclassical symmetries, potential symmetries, and generalized symmetries, and used to obtain new solutions of equations arising in mathematical physics, mathematical biology, image processing, engineering, and financial mathematics. Many, but far from all symmetry reduction techniques have been implemented, and many theoretical and computational open problems remain. The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers interested in symmetry analysis, symbolic computation, and their applications.
