A deformation of the standard prolongation operation, defined on sets of vector fields in involution rather than on single ones, was recently introduced and christened "\sigma-prolongation"; correspondingly one has "\sigma-symmetries" of…
We give a geometrical characterization of $\lambda$-prolongations of vector fields, and hence of $\lambda$-symmetries of ODEs. This allows an extension to the case of PDEs and systems of PDEs; in this context the central object is a…
This paper describes the notion of \sigma -symmetry, which extends the one of \lambda-symmetry, and its application to reduction procedures of systems of ordinary differential equations and of dynamical systems as well. We also consider…
Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and ordinary difference systems (O$\Delta$Ss) invariant under the actions of the Lie groups $\mathrm{SL}_x(2)$, $\mathrm{SL}_y(2)$ and $\mathrm{SL}_x(2)\times\mathrm{SL}_y(2)$ of projective…
We observe that, up to conjugation, a majority of symmetric higher order ODEs (ordinary differential equations) and ODE systems have only fiber-preserving point symmetries. By exploiting Lie's classification of Lie algebras of vector…
We give a geometrical interpretation of the notion of $\mu$-prolongations of vector fields and of the related concept of $\mu$-symmetry for partial differential equations (extending to PDEs the notion of $\lambda$-symmetry for ODEs). We…
This paper studies relationships between the order reductions of ordinary differential equations derived by the existence of $\lambda$-symmetries, telescopic vector fields and some nonlocal symmetries obtained by embedding the equation in…
The notion of lambda-symmetries, originally introduced by C. Muriel and J.L. Romero, is extended to the case of systems of first-order ODE's (and of dynamical systems in particular). It is shown that the existence of a symmetry of this type…
After a brief survey of the definition and the properties of Lambda-symmetries in the general context of dynamical systems, the notion of "Lambda-constant of motion'' for Hamiltonian equations is introduced. If the Hamiltonian problem is…
We consider symmetries and perturbed symmetries of canonical Hamiltonian equations of motion. Specifically we consider the case in which the Hamiltonian equations exhibit a Lambda symmetry under some Lie point vector field. After a brief…
In this paper we give a geometric interpretation of a reduction method based on the so called $\lambda$-variational symmetry (C. Muriel, J.L. Romero and P. Olver 2006 \emph{Variational $C^{\infty}$-symmetries and Euler-Lagrange equations}…
It is investigated how two (standard or generalized) $\lambda-$symmetries of a given second-order ordinary differential equation can be used to solve the equation by quadratures. The method is based on the construction of two commuting…
Twisted symmetries, widely studied in the last decade, proved to be as effective as standard ones in the analysis and reduction of nonlinear equations. We explain this effectiveness in terms of a Lie-Frobenius reduction; this requires to…
The Lie symmetries of a large class of generalized Toda field theories are studied and used to perform symmetry reduction. Reductions lead to generalized Toda lattices on one hand, to periodic systems on the other. Boundary conditions are…
After the introduction of $\lambda$-symmetries by Muriel and Romero, several other types of so called "twisted symmetries" have been considered in the literature (their name refers to the fact they are defined through a deformation of the…
An alternative proof of Lie's approach for linearization of scalar second order ODEs is derived using the relationship between $\lambda$-symmetries and first integrals. This relation further leads to a new $\lambda$-symmetry linearization…
Lie symmetry analysis is one of the powerful tools to analyze nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We review the effectiveness of this method in terms of various symmetries. We present the method of deriving Lie point symmetries,…
A reduction method of ODEs not possessing Lie point symmetries makes use of the so called $\lambda$-symmetries (C. Muriel and J. L. Romero, \emph{IMA J. Appl. Math.} \textbf{66}, 111-125, 2001). The notion of covering for an ODE…
We associate with each simple Lie algebra a system of second-order differential equations invariant under a non-compact real form of the corresponding Lie group. In the limit of a contraction to a Schr\"odinger algebra, these equations…
