It is shown in particular that nonlinear third order and fourth order equations from the chain are not linearizable by any point transformations. The Lie pseudo-group of equivalence transformations for equations of arbitrary orders from the chain are then found, together with expressions for the transformed parameter functions. An important subgroup of the group of equivalence transformations found is considered and some associated equivalence classes are exhibited.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-26T18:21:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34L30", "93B18", "54H15" ], "keywords": [ "abel chain", "linearization", "equivalence transformations", "point transformations", "nonlinear third order" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
