The Differential Form Method for Finding Symmetries

B. Kent Harrison

Physics and Astronomy Department, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah 84602, USA

Abstract: This article reviews the use of differential forms and Lie derivatives to find symmetries of differential equations, as originally presented in Harrison and Estabrook 1971 [1]. An outline of the method is given, followed by examples and references to recent papers using the method.

Keywords: symmetries; differential equations; differential forms.
