We perform the symmetry reduction of the obtained nonlinear discrete schemes with respect to the conditional symmetries and obtain the reduced discrete equations which unlike in the continuous case, are not always reducible to second order difference equations. A numerical comparison with the exact continuous solution given by Weierstrass elliptic functions is carried out.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españajournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1751-8121/ab5b47https://iopscience.iop.org/open access51-73Differential equationsInvariantSchemesExample.Física-Modelos matemáticosFísica matemática
