  17. <TD>
  18. The package <font face="Courier New">CRACK</font> attempts to
  19. solve an overdetermined system of ordinary or partial
  20. differential equations (ODEs/PDEs) with at most polynomial
  21. non-linearities in the unknown functions and their derivatives.
  22. It can be run in automatic batch mode or interactively.
  23. Applications of <font face="Courier New">CRACK</font> include
  24. a program <a href="conlaw.html">
  25. <font face="Courier New">CONLAW</font></a>
  26. for the computation of conservation laws of DEs,
  27. a program <a href="liepde.html">
  28. <font face="Courier New">LIEPDE</font></a>
  29. for the computation of infinitesimal symmetries of DEs
  30. and a program <a href="applysym.html">
  31. <font face="Courier New">APPLYSYM</font></a>
  32. for the computation of symmetry and similarity variables from
  33. infinitesimal symmetries.

  40. <TD>The memory requirements depend crucially on the
  41. application. For example, the test files
  42. <a href="ftp://ftp.maths.qmw.ac.uk/pub/tw/crack/crack.tst">
  43. <font face="Courier New">crack.tst</font></a>,
  44. <a href="ftp://ftp.maths.qmw.ac.uk/pub/tw/applysym/applysym.tst">
  45. <font face="Courier New">applysym.tst</font></a>,
  46. have been
  47. run in a 4MB session under LINUX. On the other hand, for
  48. more complex examples in
  49. <a href="ftp://ftp.maths.qmw.ac.uk/pub/tw/liepde/liepde.tst">
  50. <font face="Courier New">liepde.tst</font></a> and

  53. 4MB are not enough but 8MB are. <br>
  54. <font face="Courier New">CRACK</font>
  55. and related programs have been tested under the Portable Standard LISP
  56. (PSL) version and the Codemist Standard Lisp (CSL)
  57. version of REDUCE. </TD></TR>

  59. <TD>Installation</TD>
  60. <TD>In a running REDUCE session either do <br>
  61. <font face="Courier New"> &nbsp; in "crack.red"$ </font> <br>
  62. or, in order to speed up computation, either compile it with <br>
  63. <font face="Courier New"> &nbsp; on comp$ </font> <br>
  64. before the above command, or, generate a fast-loading compiled file once with <br>
  65. <font face="Courier New"> &nbsp; faslout "crack"$ </font> <br>
  66. <font face="Courier New"> &nbsp; in "crack.red"$ </font> <br>
  67. <font face="Courier New"> &nbsp; faslend$ </font> <br>
  68. and load that file whenever you want to run
  69. <font face="Courier New">CRACK</font> with <br>
  70. <font face="Courier New"> &nbsp; load crack$ </font> <br>
  71. The above commands assume all files to be in the current directory.
