摘要
There are many routines developed for solving ordinary differential Equations (ODEs) of different types. In the case of an nth-order ODE that admits an r-parameter Lie group (3 <= r <= n), there is a powerful method of Lie symmetry analysis by which the ODE is reduced to an (n-r)th-order ODE plus r quadratures provided that the Lie algebra formed by the infinitesimal generators of the group is solvable. It would seem this method is not widely appreciated and/or used as it is not mentioned in many related articles centred around integration of higher order ODEs. In the interest of mainstreaming the method, we describe the method in detail and provide four illustrative examples. We use the case of a third-order ODE that admits a three-dimensional solvable Lie algebra to present the gist of the integration algorithm.
