On Lie’s problem and differential invariants of ODEs y″ = F(x, y)

Resumo

A point classification of ordinary differential equations of the form y″ = F(x, y) is considered. The algebra of differential invariants of the action of the point symmetry pseudogroup on the right-hand sides of equations of the form y″ = F(x, y) is calculated, and Lie’s problem on the point equivalence of such equations is solved.
