The author reviews the theory of approximate infinitesimal symmetries of partial differential equations. Based on this and on Ibragimov's result on the general symmetries of the vacuum Einstein equation, he proposes a method to calculate approximate symmetries of the non-vacuum Einstein equation: the energy-momentum tensor is treated like a perturbation.
This article focuses its attention on practical use of the box method for solving certain type of partial differential equations. The heat conduction problem of the oil transformer under stationary load is described by this equation. The knowledge of the transformer operating temperature is important for ensuring correct functionality and lifespan of transformer. We consider an elliptic partial differential equation of second order with the Newton boundary condition on a rectangular domain. The...
