The application of symmetry methods and conservation laws to ordinary differential equations and a linear wave equation

Symmetry analysis and conservation laws are widely used in analyzing and solving differential equations. Conservation laws are also called first integrals when dealing with ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In this thesis, the complementary nature of these two approaches is explored; specifica...
