On Conservation Forms and Invariant Solutions for Classical Mechanics Problems of Liénard Type

Abstract EN

In this study we apply partial Noether and λ-symmetry approaches to a second-order nonlinear autonomous equation of the form y′′+fyy′+g(y)=0, called Liénard equation corresponding to some important problems in classical mechanics field with respect to f(y) and g(y) functions.

As a first approach we utilize partial Lagrangians and partial Noether operators to obtain conserved forms of Liénard equation.

Then, as a second approach, based on the λ-symmetry method, we analyze λ-symmetries for the case that λ-function is in the form of λ(x,y,y′)=λ1(x,y)y′+λ2(x,y).

Finally, a classification problem for the conservation forms and invariant solutions are considered.
