Description

• 

The SolutionDimension method calculates the solution dimension of the determining system for a LAVF object. It returns ∞ if the solution dimension is not finite.

• 

Let L be a LAVF object. Then IsFiniteType(L) returns true if and only if SolutionDimension(L) < ∞.

• 

Let L be a LAVF object. Then IsTrivial(L) returns true if and only if SolutionDimension(L) = 0.

• 

These methods are front-end to the corresponding methods of a LHPDE object. That is, let L be a LAVF object and S be its determining system (i.e.  S = GetDeterminingSystem(L)), then SolutionDimension(L) equals SolutionDimension(S), IsFiniteType(L) equals IsFiniteType(S) and IsTrivial(L) equals IsTrivial(S). For more detail, see the corresponding methods: SolutionDimension, IsFiniteType, IsTrivial of a LHPDE object.

• 

These methods are associated with the LAVF object. For more detail, see Overview of the LAVF object.

First, construct an indeterminate vector field and a determining system, then construct an LAVF object from them...

V≔VectorField⁡ξ⁡x&comma;y⁢Dx+η⁡x&comma;y⁢Dy&comma;space=x&comma;y

V≔ξ⁢&DifferentialD;&DifferentialD;x+η⁢&DifferentialD;&DifferentialD;y

L≔ξ⁢&DifferentialD;&DifferentialD;x+η⁢&DifferentialD;&DifferentialD;y&whereξy,y=0&comma;ξx=0&comma;ηx=−ξy&comma;ηy=0

Now we can apply the methods to see properties of L.

The determining system of L is of finite type but not trivial:

Compatibility

• 

The SolutionDimension, IsFiniteType and IsTrivial commands were introduced in Maple 2020.
