We show with an example of the discrete heat equation that for any given discrete derivative we can construct a nontrivial Leibniz rule suitable for finding the symmetries of discrete equations. In this way we obtain a symmetry Lie algebra, defined in terms of shift operators, isomorphic to that of the continuous heat equation.

Abstract

We show with an example of the discrete heat equation that for any given discrete derivative we can construct a nontrivial Leibniz rule suitable for finding the symmetries of discrete equations. In this way we obtain a symmetry Lie algebra, defined in terms of shift operators, isomorphic to that of the continuous heat equation.
