CharacteristicDEq

CharacteristicDEq[generalForm, algebra]
gives the differential equation which is characterized by the provided Lie algebra and the general form of the differential manifold where it lives.
  • The following options can be given :
SolveFirstFalseattempts to solve the system first algebraically
  • The setting SolveFirst -> True specifies that the system of differential equations constructed by the action of the Lie algebra specified against the general form will be first solved algebraically.
