A Necessary Condition for existence of Lie Symmetries in Quasihomogeneous Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations

A previous article was devoted to an analysis of the symmetry properties of a class of first-order delay ordinary differential systems (DODSs). Here we concentrate on linear DODSs. They have infinite-dimensional Lie point symmetry groups due to the linear superposition principle. Their symmetry algebra always contains a two-dimensional {sub}algebra realized by linearly connected vector fields. We identify all classes of linear first-order DODSs that have additional symmetries...

We give a new computational method to obtain symmetries of ordinary differential equations. The proposed approach appears as an extension of a recent algorithm to compute variational symmetries of optimal control problems [Comput. Methods Appl. Math. 5 (2005), no. 4, pp. 387-409], and is based on the resolution of a first order linear PDE that arises as a necessary and sufficient condition of invariance for abnormal optimal control problems. A computer algebra procedure is de...

The geometric theory of Lie systems is used to establish integrability conditions for several systems of differential equations, in particular some Riccati equations and Ermakov systems. Many different integrability criteria in the literature will be analysed from this new perspective, and some applications in physics will be given.

We consider the general Lienard-type equation $\ddot{u} = \sum_{k=0}^n f_k \dot{u}^k$ for $n\geq 4$. This equation naturally admits the Lie symmetry $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$. We completely characterize when this equation admits another Lie symmetry, and give an easily verifiable condition for this on the functions $f_0, \dots , f_n$. Moreover, we give an equivalent characterization of this condition. Similar results have already been obtained previously in the cases $n=1...

This paper is devoted to study the Lie algebra of linear symmetries of a homogenous 2nd order ODE, by the method of Kushner, Lychagin and Robstov.

In this paper, the symmetry group of a differential system of n quadratic homogeneous first order ODEs of n variables is studied. For this purpose, we consider the action of both point and contact transformations to signify the corresponding Lie algebras. We also find the independent differential invariants of these actions.

This paper is a sequel of our previous work in which we introduced the MapDE algorithm to determine the existence of analytic invertible mappings of an input (source) differential polynomial system (DPS) to a specific target DPS, and sometimes by heuristic integration an explicit form of the mapping. A particular feature was to exploit the Lie symmetry invariance algebra of the source, without integrating its equations, to facilitate MapDE, making algorithmic an approach init...

An update of the ODEtools Maple package, for the analytical solving of 1st and 2nd order ODEs using Lie group symmetry methods, is presented. The set of routines includes an ODE-solver and user-level commands realizing most of the relevant steps of the symmetry scheme. The package also includes commands for testing the returned results, and for classifying 1st and 2nd order ODEs.

This paper is dedicated to the differential Galois theory in the complex analytic context for Lie-Vessiot systems. Those are the natural generaliza- tion of linear systems, and the more general class of differential equations adimitting superposition laws, as recently stated in [5]. A Lie-Vessiot sys- tem is automatically translated into a equation in a Lie group that we call automorphic system. Reciprocally an automorphic system induces a hierarchy of Lie-Vessiot systems. In...

We present the package SADE (Symmetry Analysis of Differential Equations) for the determination of symmetries and related properties of systems of differential equations. The main methods implemented are: Lie, nonclassical, Lie-B\"acklund and potential symmetries, invariant solutions, first-integrals, N\"other theorem for both discrete and continuous systems, solution of ordinary differential equations, reduction of order or dimension using Lie symmetries, classification of d...
