Zusammenfassung: | In this paper we develop a systematic and self consistent procedure based on
a set of compatibility conditions for identifying all maximal (eight parameter)
and non-maximal (one and two parameter) symmetry groups associated with the
mixed quadratic-linear Li$\acute{e}$nard type equation, $\ddot {x} + f(x){\dot
{x}}^{2} + g(x)\dot{x}+h(x)= 0$, where $f(x),\,g(x)$ and $h(x)$ are arbitrary
functions of $x$. With the help of this procedure we show that a symmetry
function $b(t)$ is zero for non-maximal cases whereas it is not so for the
maximal case. On the basis of this result the symmetry analysis gets divided
into two cases, $(i)$ the maximal symmetry group $(b\neq0)$ and $(ii)$
non-maximal symmetry groups $(b=0)$. We then identify the most general form of
the mixed-quadratic linear Li$\acute{e}$nard type equation in each of these
cases. In the case of eight parameter symmetry group, the identified general
equation becomes linearizable. We present a specific example of physical
interest. In the case of non-maximal symmetry groups the identified equations
are all integrable. The integrability of all the equations is proved either by
providing the general solution or by constructing time independent
Hamiltonians. We also analyse the underlying equivalence transformations. |
