Popis: We consider systems of general nonlinear PDEs that arise in the extended kinetic theory of gases describing mixtures of spatially inhomogeneous, mutually interacting species. For general, autonomous, space-independent interaction laws, these systems are always invariant under the translation group. Via Lie group analysis methods, we show that for a Lotka-Volterra interaction law and three or more species, the system is invariant under a three-parameter group of transformations representing scaling, and translation in time and space. Moreover, the Lie group analysis shows that this is the only invariance group of the system.
