Abstract The groups of equivalence transformations for a family of second order balance equations involving arbitrary number of independent and dependent variables are investigated. Equivalence groups are much more general than symmetry groups in the sense that they map equations containing arbitrary functions or parameters onto equations of the same structure but with di€erent functions or parameters. Our approach to attack this problem is based on exterior calculus. The analysis is reduced to determine isovector ®elds of an ideal of the exterior algebra over an appropriate di€erentiable manifold dictated by the structure of the di€erential equations. The isovector ®elds induce point transformations, which are none other than the desired equivalence transformations, via their orbits which leave that particular ideal invariant. The general scheme is applied to a one-dimensional nonlinear wave equation and hyperelasticity. It is shown that symmetry transformations can be deduced directly from equivalence transformations.

1. Introduction If a given set of equations contains some arbitrary functions or parameters we have in fact a family of sets of equations of the same structure. Almost all ®eld equations of classical continuum physics possess this property since they describe certain common or similar behaviours of diverse materials. The equivalence groups are de®ned as groups of continuous transformations which leave a given family of equations invariant. In other words, they map an arbitrary member of the family onto another member of the same family and they transform a solution of a set of equations onto a solution of another set in the same family. Although the concept of equivalence transformations is well-known in the theory of di€erential equations, both ordinary and partial,

we owe their ®rst systematic treatment to Ovsiannikov [1] who observed that the usual Lie in®nitesimal invariance approach could be applied to construct equivalence groups as well. However, to obtain all equivalence transformation for a given family of equations is quite a complicated task. Apart from some rather trivial cases we can refer to [2] for special one-dimensional wave equations, to [3] for equations modelling detonation, to [4] simple equations of balance form and to [5] for general one-dimensional nonlinear wave equations of balance form. Some rather special cases can also be found in [6]. The aim of the present work is to study equivalence groups associated with second order system of balance equations given in the following form oRai ‡ Ra ˆ 0; oxi

where Rai and Ra are smooth functions of independent variables xi , dependent variables ua and derivatives ua;i . Throughout the analysis the summation convention on repeated indices is adopted. Subscript comma indicates partial di€erentiation. A great number of ®eld equations of continuum physics fall into this category of equations with n ˆ 4. Since the solution of Eq. (1.1) is in the form u ˆ u…x†, we have in fact a quasilinear system of second order equations as follows oRai oub;j

In order to determine groups of equivalence transformations we employ the geometrical approach which was ®rst formulated in the seminal work of Harrison and Estabrook [7]. This approach is based on Cartan's geometrical formulation of partial di€erential equations in terms of exterior di€erential forms [8]. Within the framework of exterior calculus, in®nitesimal generators of symmetry groups associated with a given set of partial di€erential equations are identi®ed as components of isovector ®elds of an ideal of the exterior algebra over an appropriate di€erentiable manifold. Isovector ®elds are certain special vector ®elds in the tangent space of the manifold whose orbits generate transformations which leave the ideal invariant. This scheme has been explored in studying symmetry groups in Refs. [9] and [10] with special emphasis on second

order balance equations whereas a general approach for arbitrary system of balance equations of ®nite order was presented in [11]. In order to employ the geometrical approach in studying the equivalence groups of Eq. (1.1), we have ®rst to extend largely the manifold over which symmetry transformations were used to be determined by taking into account Rai , Ra and their ®rst order derivative with respect to their arguments as additional independent variables. Although this extended manifold will usually acquire a huge dimension we see that it would be possible to carry out a large part of intermediary calculations and to obtain quite a reduced number of equations to determine components of isovector ®elds. The appropriate di€erential manifold and the fundamental contact and balance forms which generate a closed ideal which is annihilated by solutions of Eq. (1.1) are introduced in Section 2. Section 3 is devoted to the determination of the isovector ®elds of that ideal. The general structure of the isovector components and quite a reduced number of relations to determine them are separately provided for the cases N 6ˆ 1 and N ˆ 1. As applications of the general scheme a onedimensional nonlinear wave equation and ®eld equations of homogeneous hyperelasticity are considered in Section 4. Section 5 is concerned with deducing determining equations for isovector components corresponding to symmetry transformations from those of equivalence transformations.

2. Fundamental equations We ®rst reduce Eq. (1.1) to a ®rst order system of di€erential equations by introducing the variables vai ˆ ua;i :

To construct equivalence groups we have to consider Rai and Ra as independent variables. To recognise their functional dependence we further de®ne the following variables sai j ˆ

Let M ˆ Rn denote the space of independent variables with the cartesian coordinate cover fxi g and G ˆ Rn  RN the graph space with a coordinate cover fxi ; ua g.

Let K…K† denote the exterior algebra over the manifold K. We next de®ne contact 1-forms

Let us now consider the ideal I of K…K† generated by the forms xa ; ra ; Xai ; Xa ; dra ; dXai and dXa where the operator d represents the exterior di€erentiation. We have dra ˆ ÿdvai ^ dxi 2 K2 …K†; aij b 2 j ai b dXai ˆ ÿdsai j ^ dx ÿ drb ^ du ÿ dsb ^ dvj 2 K …K†;

In fact, the solution map / : M ! K is a composite map given by / ˆ /2  /1 where /1 : M ! H , /2 : H ! K such that the induced maps transforms the following exterior algebras: / ˆ K…K† ! K…M†;

Due to the well-known commutation rule / d ˆ d/ ; the exterior derivatives of the generators are also annulled by / . It is obvious that such a map annihilates every form in the ideal I. One immediately veri®es that / is the solution map of the set of equations Eq. (1.1) since the relations (2.9), in view of Eqs. (2.11a), (2.10b), (2.10c) and (2.11d), are none other than the relations (2.1), (2.2) and (1.1). 3. Isovector ®elds of the closed ideal I A vector ®eld V of the tangent space T(K) is an isovector ®eld of the ideal I if and only if 8a 2 I ) LV a 2 I;

where LV represents the Lie derivative of a form a with respect to a vector ®eld V. The necessary and sucient conditions for V to be an isovector ®eld of I are that Lie derivatives of all generators should remain in the ideal [10]. It can be shown that isovector ®elds constitute a Lie subalgebra of T(K). Their orbits generate one-parameter Lie groups of continuous transformations [10]. Since I is a graded ideal a more systematic approach to determine isovector ®elds is plausible [10]. Moreover, we have to distinguish two cases. 3.1. The case N ¹ 1 A general vector ®eld V 2 T …K† is expressible in the following form with respect to the usual bases of the manifold K V ˆ Xi

where all coecients (isovector components) are smooth functions of coordinates in the list (2.3). Let us ®rst consider the contact the ideal C…ra ; Xai ; Xa †  I generated by 1-forms ra ; Xai ; Xa . If V is to be an isovector of C then the following conditions should be satis®ed LV ra ˆ kab rb ‡ Kbia Xbi ‡ Kba Xb ;

with appropriate coecients as smooth functions of K0 …K†. In order to evaluate the Lie derivative of an arbitrary exterior form we shall make use of the well-known relation LV a ˆ V yda ‡ d…V ya†:

we have LV ra ˆ ÿVi a dxi ‡ X i dvai ‡ dF a :

1907

Introducing the above relation into left-hand side and the relations (2.4) into the right-hand side of Eq. (3.2a) collecting similar terms and equating coecients of independent 1-forms in the resulting expression to zero we immediately obtain Kbia ˆ oF a osbi j

which implies obviously that F a ˆ F a …xi ; ub ; vbi ; Rbi ; Rb †: Since we have assumed that N 6ˆ 1 we can always make the choice a 6ˆ b in the last expression of Eq. (3.5) so that we have oF a ovbi

By contracting on indices a and c in Eq. (3.6) we ®nd that N

Inserting this expression into the right-hand side of Eq. (3.6) and contracting this time on indices a and b we have …N 2 ÿ 1†

whence it follows that oX k ˆ0 ovci

It is clear that the functions F ai cannot depend on variables tia ; sab ; tbai . On the other hand X i ; U a and ai aij Vi a are independent of sai j ; rb ; sb . Hence Eq. (3.11) can easily be integrated to give aij b ai j bj b j ai b b b F ai ˆ ÿsai j X ÿ rb U ÿ sb Vj ‡ F …x ; u ; vj ; R ; R †:

On the other hand Sai b and Tb are left as arbitrary functions of variables (2.3). However, it is straightforward to verify that

LV1 Xa ˆ 0;

LV1 xa ˆ 0;

LV2 ra ˆ 0;

LV2 xa ˆ 0:

This result, in turn, implies that the vector ®elds V1 and V2 are isovector ®elds of the ideal I for a every choice of functions Sai b and Tb . Therefore they are trivial isovector ®elds of I and they will be discarded henceforth without loss of generality.

Due to the commutation rule dLV ˆ LV d; valid for arbitrary vector ®elds and since the ideal is closed, the Lie derivatives of forms dra ; dXai ; dXa with respect to the vector ®eld given by Eq. (3.18) are already in the ideal I. Thus the last step to reach our goal is to impose certain conditions on (3.18) so that the forms LV xa remain in the ideal I. These conditions can be expressed as follows LV xa ˆ T a l ÿ X i dRa ^ li ‡ d…S ai li ÿ X j dRai ^ lji ‡ Ra X i li † ˆ T a l ‡ …dS ai ‡ Ra dX i † ^ li ÿ dX j ^ dRai ^lji ˆ mab xb ‡ rb ^ Aab ‡ drb ^ Bab ‡ Xbi ^ Cbia ‡ dXbi ^ Dabi ‡ Xb ^ Cba ‡ dXb ^ Dab ;

a Aab ; Cbi ; Cba 2 Knÿ1 …K†;

Bab ; Dabi ; Dab 2 Knÿ2 …K†:

To evaluate the expressions (3.19) we ®rst have to calculate the di€erentials dX i and dS ai appearing there taking into account relations (3.7a) and (3.13). We then insert the de®nitions (2.8) into Eq. (3.19), replace the forms dua ; dRai and dRa by ra ; Xai and Xa , respectively, employ the identities (2.7) in the resulting expressions and ®nally collect the similar forms on both sides.

These equations involve the unknown functions mab in addition to the functions a X i …xj ,ub †; Fai …xj ; ub ; vbj ; Rbj ; Rb †; G …xj ; ub ; vbj ; Rbj ; Rb † and some of their ®rst order derivatives. It is straightforward to check that the number of unknowns is n ‡ N ‡ N 2 ‡ Nn while the number of equations are N ‡ 12 …n ‡ 1†nN 2 for N > 1. Therefore the maximal number of compatibility conditions which might be imposed are …n ÿ 1†…n ‡ 2†N 2 ÿ n…N ‡ 1†: 2 If they admit nontrivial solutions, Eqs. (3.23) determine all independent isovector ®elds associated with the equivalence groups of balance equations (1.1). After having obtained all linearly independent isovector ®elds we can determine an equivalence group corresponding to a particular isovector ®eld by integrating the following system of ordinary di€erential equations in the group parameter  dxi ˆ X i …xj ; ub †; d

3.2. The case N ˆ 1 If there is a single di€erential equation of the balance form then all Greek indices take just the value one and they will be omitted henceforth to simplify the notation. With this notational artifact in mind we can copy all equations related to the contact ideal until to the end of Eqs. (3.5). However, the reasoning which had worked quite well there fails in N ˆ 1 and from then on we have to pursue the analysis on a some what di€erent path. The relations which we could borrow from Eqs. (3.4a), (3.4b) and (3.5) are summarised below Xi ˆ ÿ

One must note here that sji , sji and ti , ti represent entirely di€erent quantities and they should not be mistaken as associated tensor components. Similarly we have almost verbatim copies of the

relations (3.10), (3.11) and (3.14), (3.15) with F i being independent of ti , s and ti and G being independent of sji , ri and sji . However these properties imply through the relations (3.11) and (3.15) that X i ; U and Vi given by Eq. (3.24) cannot depend on sji , ti and sii , ti . Hence it follows that oF ˆ 0; oRi

Again it is straightforward to see V1 and V2 are trivial isovector ®elds which can be discarded without loss of generality. The components of (3.28) are entirely determined in terms of three functions F …xi ; u; vi †, Fi …xj ; u; vj ; Rj ; R†, G…xj ; u; vj ; Rj ; R† via the relations (3.26) and (3.27). In order that the ideal I…x; r; Xi ; X; dr; dXi ; dX† remain invariant under the vector ®eld (3.28) we require that the following relation, which can be deduced directly from Eq. (3.19), should also be satis®ed LV x ˆ T l ÿ X i dR ^ li ‡ d…S i li ÿ X j dRi ^ lji ‡ RX i li † ˆ T l ‡ …dS i ‡ RdX i † ^ li ÿ dX j ^ dRi ^ lji ˆ mx ‡ r ^ A ‡ dr ^ B ‡ Xi ^ Ci ‡ X ^ C; where m and A; Ci ; C and B are arbitrary forms of degrees 0 and n ÿ 2 and n ÿ 1, respectively. The forms Di and D which should appear in the foregoing expressions as coecients of 2-forms dXi and dX are taken as zero from the start without loss of generality. The functions X i depend, however, also on vj .

may be found. Eqs. (3.23b) and (3.31b) generate chains of equations to determine the desired function since these functions depend on restricted sets of variables of the underlying manifold K. The forms of these equations are heavily a€ected by the numbers n and N. It seems that it is plausible to ®nd the general solutions of equations (3.23) or (3.31). This will be the subject of a subsequent paper. If some of the arguments of Rai , Ra or Ra , R are missing, isovector components corresponding to these arguments should consequently vanish. Hence additional conditions should be imposed on the general solutions which might change completely their structure. Even if the explicit general solutions cannot be provided, we believe that the work presented here builds quite an ecient shortcut to reach directly to the determining equations for isovector ®elds. These equations may easily be generated by a personal computer and sometimes even solutions may be handled by a computer employing, for instance, Mathematica. Since the cumbersome auxiliary calculations to be carried out in the classical approach to ®nd the determining equations are entirely removed in the present scheme memory requirement for computer is relaxed to a great extent and computation time may be shortened a great deal.

Eqs. (4.5a), (4.5b), (4.5c), (4.6) are determining equations of the equivalence groups associated with Eq. (4.1). They are exactly the same as those found earlier [5].

5. Symmetry groups It might be quite instructive to verify that the determining equations for isovector ®elds of symmetry groups associated with balance equations are directly deducible from those corresponding to equivalence groups. To this end we should consider that Rai and Ra and their derivatives with respect to their arguments are no longer independent variables. Therefore the only surviving isovector components will be X i ; U a and Vi a in (3.1). However, we have to note that the base vectors o=oxi ; o=oua and o=ovai in (3.1) were evaluated by keeping Rai and Ra constant. Hence

E.S. Sß uhubi / International Journal of Engineering Science 37 (1999) 1901±1925

1923

they should now be replaced by total derivatives by taking into account the functional forms of Rai and Ra . It is quite clear that we have now to write o o oRaj o oRa o ˆ ÿ ÿ oxi oRaj oxi oRa oxi Rai ;Ra oxi and similar expressions for the derivatives with respect to ua and vai . Consequently the isovector ®eld is now expressible as   o oRaj i oRbj a oRbj a o a o a o bj V ˆX i‡U ‡ Vi ‡ S ÿ i X ÿ a U ÿ a Vi a a ox ou ovi ox ou ovi oRbj   oRb i oRb a oRb a o b ‡ T ÿ i X ÿ a U ÿ a Vi : ox ou ovi oRa i

Since the components of the isovector ®eld on the base vectors o=oRbj and o=oRb should now vanish we conclude that S ai ˆ V …Rai †;
