Abstract

In this paper, we unearth symmetries of different types of a nonlinear non-polynomial oscillator. The symmetries which we report here are adjoint-symmetries, contact symmetries and telescopic vector fields. We also obtain Jacobi last multipliers and Darboux polynomials as a by-product of our procedure. All the aforementioned quantities are derived from a Theorem proved by Muriel and Romero. The procedure which we present here is applicable to a class of nonlinear oscillator equations.
