-
- Equipment
- ---------
- Any IBM type PC with at least 256k of free memory.
- Any version of DOS.
- An attached printer is very useful.

- Update
- ------
- Version 3.1
- (1) LIE is wrtten in MUMATH, the symbolic mathematics language for
- IBM type PCs. Previous versions have required you to have the MUMATH
- system. By generous permission of Soft Warehouse Inc, authors and
- owners of MUMATH, this is no longer necessary. A limited version of
- MUMATH is combined with LIE to give MULIE.EXE which is a complete
- stand-alone operating program. Portions of the software are
- copyrighted by Soft Warehouse Inc, 3616 Harding Av., Suite 505,
- Honolulu, Hawaii 96816 USA, and are used by permission on a gratis,
- as-is basis with no liability or support.
-
- (2) With the cumulative improvements to the heuristics of program
- LIE, including a new Op that adds integrability conditions to the
- defining equations, there is now little need for the user to intervene
- ( by low level MUMATH operations ) in the solution process. A lot of
- the previous documentation was to aid in this intervention and this
- has now been much reduced. The MUMATH manual is really what you would
- need.
-
- Version 3.2
- A multinomial GCD package has been added. This aids in reducing the
- size of expressions by detecting and dividing out inessential factors.
- Larger problems can now be run without exhausting memory.
- If your DE contains symbolic functions or constants then there may
- be special values of these that lead to different Lie symmetries. This
- may occur in two ways, that a factor which is divided out may be zero
- in special cases, or, when splitting a "polynomial", that functions
- taken as linearly independent may not be so in special cases.
- Selective information on these possibilities can be shown by ( say )
- SHOW#:LIST(A,B,K) where the list contains the names of functions and
- constants of interest. ( This is turned off by SHOW#:FALSE, the
- default value). See SPECIALC.DAT and the non-linear heat equation
- HEATNL.DAT.
- IMPORTANT: All derivatives of a symbolic function in the DE must
- be written as explicit derivatives with respect to the argument of the
- function else LIE will misfunction. See HEATNL.DAT.
-
- Version 3.3
- Extensions to factorization and to information shown by SHOW#.
