As an extension of Lie's theories on transformation groups, the author establishes how differential invariants can be deduced from the equations of definition of a group. The concept of a 'reduced form' is discussed and it is shown how differential invariants can help obtain new parameters for invariant transformations. The author applies these principles to determine the invariants of a surface, according to both conformal transformations of space and projective transformations, and examines invariants previously obtained by a different method to solve a problem treated by Roger Liouville. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
