Abstract:
Group classification is the basic problem in the group analysis of differential equations with an arbitrary element. For the equations of ideal gas dynamics with a stationary state equation the problem is solved with a brute-force search of simplifications of the defining relations by equivalence transformations. For time-dependent relaxation state equations, the brute-force search is huge, and we have to use an optimal system of subalgebras of a subalgebra extending the core of admitted algebras. Some combination of both methods leads to a solution of the problem of group classification of gas-dynamic relaxation.
Keywords:gas dynamics, relaxation state equation, equivalence transformations, defining relations, group classification, optimal system of subalgebras.
