Abstract

We develop new computational algorithms, based on the method of equivariant moving frames, for classifying the differential invariants of Lie symmetry pseudo-groups of differential equations and analyzing the structure of the induced differential invariant algebra. The Korteweg-deVries (KdV) and Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations serve to illustrate examples. In particular, we deduce the first complete classification of the differential invariants and their syzygies of the KP symmetry pseudo-group.
