In this paper, it is discussed how this problem can be addressed in a computer-algebraic way. Pseudo-Riemannian metrics expressed in local coordinates are considered, with and without parameter dependence. No assumption is made about analyticity of the Killing tensors %K Killing tensor %K integral of motion %K prolongation-projection method %U http://siba-ese.unisalento.it/index.php/notemat/article/view/17182
