A new heuristic algorithm for solving overdetermined systems of PDEs in Mathematica
Abstract:
The outline and the main features of a heuristic algorithm for solving
overdetermined systems of PDEs is decribed. This algorithm, which we call
“Seek&Solve”, is the core element of the command SolveOverdeterminedEqs
of the Mathematica based symmetry analysis package SYM, developed
by the authors recently. Characteristic examples are presented, showing
the effectiveness of the algorithm - particularly in the case where the
over-determined system admits “singular” solutions corresponding to special
values of the parameters involved.
