I know what you meant; I've just tried to point out an error in your sentence which pops up sometimes, which may have mislead others. It's all about the time reversal invariance of evolution equations, not solutions.
- bubblyworld 1y agoOh I see what you mean, it's kinda easy to read my comment as meaning time symmetry. But I do think the phrasing in terms of solutions is correct, provided you interpret it appropriately. As in "is still a solution to the diff eq after transformation" and not "is left unchanged by the transformation".
- bonvoyage36 1y agoIt's not a good phrasing to express the point, because "solution is invariant under operation O" has an established meaning, that the solution does no change after the operation. What you mean can be properly phrased as "equations are time-reversal invariant".
- bubblyworld 1y agoYou've convinced me =)
