Abstract

In this paper, the unique normal form for a class of three-dimensional nilpotent vector fields with symmetry is investigated. The key technique used is a combination of multiple Lie brackets, linear grading function, new notations of block matrices and first integral of the linear part of the given vector field which avoids complicated calculations. The first and the second order normal forms are computed successively, and the uniqueness of the second order normal form is proved under certain conditions.
