Computational Algebra SeminarAlexa van der WaallUniversity of SydneyAn Introduction to Differential Galois Theory in MAGMAThursday 6th March, 3-4pmCarslaw 375 In this talk we present some basic concepts of the Galois theory of linear differential equations. We introduce the differential Galois group and a strongly related group, the monodromy group, of a linear differential equation. At the end we present a method of calculating rational solutions of a linear differential equation, that has been implemented in MAGMA. Examples are given throughout the talk. |
