Whereas Lie had linearized scalar second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by point transformations and later Chern had extended to the third order by using contact transformation, till recently no work had been done for higher…
We present the results of the computation of a twisting type N solution to vacuum Einstein equations following an iterative approach. Our results show that the higher order terms fail to provide a full exact solution with non-vanishing…

In Part I of the present series of papers, we adumbrate our idea of Riemannian geometry to higher order in the infinitesimals and derive expressions for the appropriate generalizations of parallel transport and the Riemannian curvature…
We consider four-dimensional, Riemannian, Ricci-flat metrics for which one or other of the self-dual or anti-self-dual Weyl tensors is type-D. Such metrics always have a valence-2 Killing spinor, and therefore a Hermitian structure and at…
Optimization problems with access to only zeroth-order information of the objective function on Riemannian manifolds arise in various applications, spanning from statistical learning to robot learning. While various zeroth-order algorithms…
In the first part of the paper we characterize certain systems of first order nonlinear differential equations whose space of solutions is an $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$-module. We prove that such systems, called Ramanujan systems of…

In the geometry of generic 2-plane fields on 5-manifolds, the local equivalence problem was solved by Cartan who also constructed the fundamental curvature invariant. For generic 2-plane fields or $(2,3,5)$-distributions determined by a…
This paper develops a new class of Rosenbrock-type integrators based on a Krylov space solution of the linear systems. The new family, called Rosenbrock-Krylov (Rosenbrock-K), is well suited for solving large scale systems of ODEs or…
Third rank Killing tensors in (1+1)-dimensional geometries are investigated and classified. It is found that a necessary and sufficient condition for such a geometry to admit a third rank Killing tensor can always be formulated as a…

We introduce a method to estimate the size of the domain of definition of the solutions of a meromorphic vector field on a neighborhood of its pole divisor. The corresponding techniques are, in a certain sense, quantitative versions of some…
