Abstract In this thesis a recent method viz tI Similarity method” described by Sophus Lie, is used to find the solutions of some differential equations frequently appear in describing natural phenomena This method has the following advantages:- Firstly: Reducing the number of independent variables in differential equation by one . Secondly: Finding the number of different solutions for the differential equation. Thirdly: Knowning a previous solution for differential equation, one can construct another one. The thesis consists of an introduction and four charpters Their contents are as follows: Chapter I : In this chapter the author discussed the method under consideration and its use in finding the solutions of partial differential equationsas well as producing the groups of transformation. Chapter II : The author used the similarity method to find different solutions in five cases for the one - dimensional Fokker Planck’s equation. Chapter III : This chapter includes two parts; in the first one the author used the similarity method to find most of the probable solutions for the fragmentation equation, whereas in the second part, the similarity method is also used to find the different solutions for the coagulation equation. Chapter IV: In this chapter the author used the similarity method to find solutions for the two - dimensional Fokker-Planck equations. |
