For this extension of Lie's method we identify a local obstruction to the principle of symmetric criticality. Two examples of non-transverse symmetry reductions for the potential form of Maxwell's equations are then examined.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1999-11-07T22:18:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symmetric criticality", "transversality", "extend lies classical method", "finding group invariant solutions", "non-transverse group actions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Commun.
