Abstract:
The algorithm for the order reduction of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using the operator of invariant differentiation (OID) of admitted Lie algebra is modified for systems of ODEs with a small parameter that admit approximate Lie algebras of operators. Invariant representations of second-order ODEs and systems of two second-order ODEs are presented. The OID of approximate Lie algebra is introduced. It is shown that it is possible to construct a special type of OID, which is used for obtaining the first integral of the system considered. Examples of using the algorithm for cases of complete and incomplete inheritance of a Lie algebra are given.
