On approximate symmetry and approximate solutions of the nonlinear wave equation with a small parameter. (English) Zbl 0711.35086

Summary: The concept of approximate symmetry is introduced. We describe all nonlinearities F(u) with which the nonlinear wave equation \(\square u+\lambda u^ 3+\epsilon F(u)=0\) with a small parameter \(\epsilon\) is approximately scale and conformally invariant. Some approximate solutions of wave equations in question are obtained using the approximate symmetry.
