In the natural and engineering sciences the equations which model physical systems with symmetry often exhibit an invariance with respect to a particular group G of linear transformations. G is typically a linear representation of a symmetry group G which characterizes the symmetry of the physical system. In this work, we will discuss the natural parallelism which arises while seeking families of solutions to a specific class of nonlinear vector equations which display a special type of group invariance, referred to as equivariance. The inherent parallelism stems from a global de-coupling, due to symmetry, of the full nonlinear equations which effectively splits the original problem into a set of smaller problems. Numerical results from a symmetry-adapted numerical procedure, (MMcontcm.m), written in MultiMATLAB 1 are discussed. 1 Introduction Consider the task of finding solutions to the following vector equilibrium equation f (u; ) = 0; f : R n \Theta R 7! R n : (1) In eq: ..
