摘要: There are manywell-known techniques for obtaining exact solutions of differential equations,but most of them are merely special cases of a few powerful symmetry methods.In this talk, we give a straightforward introduction and applications of Liesymmetry reduction method. For a higher-order ODE, a correspondence betweenfirst integrals and invariance under point symmetries holds only when the ODEhas a variational principle. If a system of PDEs is invariant under a Lie groupof point transformations, one can find, constructively, special solutions,called similarity solutions or invariant solutions that are invariant under asubgroup of the full group admitted by the system. We will illustrate thesetechniques to investigate a degenerate parabolic system which arises inbiological population, and obtain bounded wave solutions under certainconditions.
