GetVectorField

get the vector field of a LAVF object

GetDeterminingSystem

get the symmetry determining system of a LAVF object

 Calling Sequence GetVectorField( obj) GetDeterminingSystem( obj)

Parameters

 obj - a LAVF object

Description

 • The GetVectorField method returns the vector field for a LAVF object, as a VectorField object. The returned VectorField object then has access to various methods. See Overview of the VectorField object for more detail.
 • The GetDeterminingSystem method returns the symmetry determining system for a LAVF object, as a LHPDE object. The returned LHPDE object then has access to various methods. See Overview of the LHPDE object for more detail.
 • These methods are associated with the LAVF object. For more detail, see Overview of the LAVF object.

Examples

 > $\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{LieAlgebrasOfVectorFields}\right):$
 > $\mathrm{Typesetting}:-\mathrm{Settings}\left(\mathrm{userep}=\mathrm{true}\right):$
 > $\mathrm{Typesetting}:-\mathrm{Suppress}\left(\left[\mathrm{\xi }\left(x,y\right),\mathrm{\eta }\left(x,y\right)\right]\right):$

Construct an indeterminate vector field and a determining system, then construct an LAVF object from them...

 > $V≔\mathrm{VectorField}\left(\mathrm{\xi }\left(x,y\right)\mathrm{D}\left[x\right]+\mathrm{\eta }\left(x,y\right)\mathrm{D}\left[y\right],\mathrm{space}=\left[x,y\right]\right)$
 ${V}{≔}{\mathrm{\xi }}{}\frac{{\partial }}{{\partial }{x}}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{0.4em}{0.0ex}}{+}{\mathrm{\eta }}{}\frac{{\partial }}{{\partial }{y}}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{0.4em}{0.0ex}}$ (1)
 > $\mathrm{E2}≔\mathrm{LHPDE}\left(\left[\mathrm{diff}\left(\mathrm{\xi }\left(x,y\right),y,y\right)=0,\mathrm{diff}\left(\mathrm{\eta }\left(x,y\right),x\right)=-\mathrm{diff}\left(\mathrm{\xi }\left(x,y\right),y\right),\mathrm{diff}\left(\mathrm{\eta }\left(x,y\right),y\right)=0,\mathrm{diff}\left(\mathrm{\xi }\left(x,y\right),x\right)=0\right],\mathrm{indep}=\left[x,y\right],\mathrm{dep}=\left[\mathrm{\xi },\mathrm{\eta }\right]\right)$
 ${\mathrm{E2}}{≔}\left[{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{y}{,}{y}}{=}{0}{,}{{\mathrm{\eta }}}_{{x}}{=}{-}{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{y}}{,}{{\mathrm{\eta }}}_{{y}}{=}{0}{,}{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{x}}{=}{0}\right]{,}{\mathrm{indep}}{=}\left[{x}{,}{y}\right]{,}{\mathrm{dep}}{=}\left[{\mathrm{\xi }}{,}{\mathrm{\eta }}\right]$ (2)
 > $L≔\mathrm{LAVF}\left(V,\mathrm{E2}\right)$
 ${L}{≔}\left[{\mathrm{\xi }}{}\frac{{\partial }}{{\partial }{x}}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{0.4em}{0.0ex}}{+}{\mathrm{\eta }}{}\frac{{\partial }}{{\partial }{y}}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{0.4em}{0.0ex}}\right]\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{0.3em}{0.0ex}}{&where}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{0.3em}{0.0ex}}\left\{\left[{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{y}{,}{y}}{=}{0}{,}{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{x}}{=}{0}{,}{{\mathrm{\eta }}}_{{x}}{=}{-}{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{y}}{,}{{\mathrm{\eta }}}_{{y}}{=}{0}\right]\right\}$ (3)

Now we can retrieve the basic properties of the LAVF L:

 > $\mathrm{GetVectorField}\left(L\right)$
 ${\mathrm{\xi }}{}\frac{{\partial }}{{\partial }{x}}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{0.4em}{0.0ex}}{+}{\mathrm{\eta }}{}\frac{{\partial }}{{\partial }{y}}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{0.4em}{0.0ex}}$ (4)
 > $S≔\mathrm{GetDeterminingSystem}\left(L\right)$
 ${S}{≔}\left[{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{y}{,}{y}}{=}{0}{,}{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{x}}{=}{0}{,}{{\mathrm{\eta }}}_{{x}}{=}{-}{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{y}}{,}{{\mathrm{\eta }}}_{{y}}{=}{0}\right]{,}{\mathrm{indep}}{=}\left[{x}{,}{y}\right]{,}{\mathrm{dep}}{=}\left[{\mathrm{\xi }}{,}{\mathrm{\eta }}\right]$ (5)

The determining system of L is indeed a LHPDE object, and has access to various methods...

 > $\mathrm{type}\left(S,'\mathrm{LHPDE}'\right)$
 ${\mathrm{true}}$ (6)
 > $\mathrm{GetSystem}\left(S\right)$
 $\left[{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{y}{,}{y}}{=}{0}{,}{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{x}}{=}{0}{,}{{\mathrm{\eta }}}_{{x}}{=}{-}{{\mathrm{\xi }}}_{{y}}{,}{{\mathrm{\eta }}}_{{y}}{=}{0}\right]$ (7)
 > $\mathrm{GetDependents}\left(S\right)$
 $\left[{\mathrm{\xi }}{,}{\mathrm{\eta }}\right]$ (8)
 > $\mathrm{GetIndependents}\left(S\right)$
 $\left[{x}{,}{y}\right]$ (9)
