Software
Synopsis: 26 software packages (including some updates) mainly for
Mathematica (commercial software), some for Macsyma (commercial
software, now obsolete).
The Macsyma program symmgpr.max for Lie-point symmetries of
differential equations has been adapted to Maxima
(i.e., DOE-Macsyma, a free computer algebra system in the public
domain).
Most of the software has been developed with support of the National
Science Foundation of the U.S.A..
Please acknowledge the software if it has been of use to you,
either as a central or exploratory tool or for verification
purposes.
You can do this by refering to the web page where the software is
located or to related publications.
NOTE (added December 2011, last updated July 4, 2020):
The Mathematica software was developed for Mathematica versions 4 through 7
(depending on the package).
Compatibility with newers versions of Mathematica, including v. 8, 9,
10, 11, and 12 is being tested and the packages are (slowly) being
upgraded as specified below.

The package symmgrp2020.max is an update of symmgrp2009.max and works
under Maxima
(a.k.a. DOE-Macsyma), a computer algebra system which can be freely
downloaded
from
SourceForge.
Our paper
The computer calculation of Lie point symmetries of large systems
of differential equations
and the 2018 report
Symmetry Analysis Using Symbolic Computation by E. J.
Albright and J. D. McHardy serve as manuals.
The notes
Lie Symmetry Group Methods for Differential Equations
provided by Faruk Güngör serve as theoretical background.

symmgrp2009.max:
A Maxima program for the calculation of Lie point symmetries of
large systems of differential equations (2009).
The package symmgrp2009.max works under both the commercial computer
algebra system Macsyma (now obsolete) and Maxima (the
freely available DOE-Macsyma).
Data and command files are available for either Macsyma
(MacsymaFiles)
or Maxima
(MaximaFiles).
The package symmgrp.max (written in 1991) was last updated in 2006.
That code, still called
symmgrp.max, only works under Macsyma, the commercial computer
algebra system (now obsolete but some may still have a working copy).
