Ivariants and Linearization of Nonlinear Differential Equations

Nail H. Ibragimov

Abstract
The talk is aimed at discussing recent developments in the theory of invariants based on the infinitesimal technique with emphasis on the use of infinite Lie algebras. Newly found invariants are presented for various families of non-linear ordinary differential equations of the second order and for linear and non-linear equations of the third order. The solution to the linearisation problem is given for the second order and third order equations. An invariant formulation of Lie's group classification of second order equations is discussed.
