In this work we derive potential symmetries for ordinary differential equations. By using these potential symmetries we find that the order of the ODE can be reduced even if this equation does not admit point symmetries. Moreover, in the case for which the ODE admits a group of point symmetries, we find that the potential symmetries allow us to perform further reductions than its point symmetri...

A rotational fluid model which can be used to describe broad vortical flows ranging from large scale to the atmospheric mesoscale and the oceanic submesoscale is studied by the symmetry group theory. After introducing one scalar-, two vector-, and two tensor potentials, we find that the Lie symmetries of the extended system include many arbitrary functions of z and {z, t}. The obtained Lie symm...

Parameter estimation in ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has manifold applications not only in physics but also in the life sciences. When estimating the ODE parameters from experimentally observed data, the modeler is frequently concerned with the question of parameter identifiability. The source of parameter nonidentifiability is tightly related to Lie group symmetries. In the present w...

In the present paper, a class of partial differential equations related to various plate and rod problems is studied by Lie transformation group methods. A system of equations determining the generators of the admitted point Lie groups (symmetries) is derived. A general statement of the associated groupclassification problem is given. A simple intrinsic relation is deduced allowing to recognize...

Symmetry analysis is a powerful tool that enables the user to construct exact solutions of a given differential equation in a fairly systematic way. For this reason, the Lie point symmetry groups of most well-known differential equations have been catalogued. It is widely believed that the set of symmetries of an initial-value problem (or boundary-value problem) is a subset of the set of symmet...

Lie derivatives of various geometrical and physical quantities define symmetries and conformal symmetries in general relativity. Thus we obtain motions, collineations, conformal motions and conformal collineations. These symmetries are used not only to find new solutions of Einstein’s field equations but to classify the spaces also. Different classification schemes are presented here. Relations...

We consider the Calogero–Degasperis–Ibragimov–Shabat depending on the local variables and on the integral of the only local conserved density of the equation in question. The resulting Lie algebra of these symmetries turns out to be a central extension of that of local symmetries.

This paper describes a new symmetry-based approach to solving a given ordinary di¬erence equation. By studying the local structure of the set of solutions, we derive a systematic method for determining one-parameter Lie groups of symmetries in closed form. Such groups can be used to achieve successive reductions of order. If there are enough symmetries, the di¬erence equation can be completely ...
