For the reduced first order differential equation it is found that standard reduction procedure do not admit any non-trivial Lie point symmetry. However some special solutions for the differential equation are obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-07-03T11:11:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symmetry reduction", "lane-emden equation", "non-trivial lie point symmetry", "reduced first order differential equation", "polytropes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0807.0533M" } } }
