Abstract

It is shown that the nonlinear Ermakov system may be reduced to consideration of a pair of linear equations. Geometric aspects of the procedure along with analytic results pertaining to its inversion are noted. Graphical results are presented for a particular Ermakov system that arises in two-layer long wave theory.
