Computer algebra solving of second order ODEs using symmetry methods

Abstract
An update of the ODEtools Maple package, for the analytical solving of 1st and 2nd order ODEs using Lie group symmetry methods, is presented. The set of routines includes an ODE-solver and user-level commands realizing most of the relevant steps of the symmetry scheme. The package also includes commands for testing the returned results, and for classifying 1st and 2nd order ODEs.

Title of program: ODEtools
Catalogue Id: ADFP_v2_0 [ADHH]

Nature of problem
Analytical solving of first and second order ordinary differential equations using symmetry methods, and the inverse problem; that is, given a set of point and/or dynamical symmetries, to find the most general invariant first or second order ODE.
