On Computing Linearizing Coordinates From Symmetry Algebra
A characterization of the symmetry algebra of the $n$th order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with maximal symmetry and all third order linearizable ODEs is given. This is used to show that such an algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ determines $-$ up to a point transformation $-$ only one linear equation whose symmetry algebra is $\mathfrak{g}$ and an algorithmic procedure is given to find the linearizing coordinates. The procedure is illustrated by several examples from literature.
