We show how to reduce the nonlinear Wei-Norman equations, expressing the solution of a linear system of non-autonomous equations on a Lie algebra, to a hierarchy of matrix Riccati equations using the cominuscule induction. The construction…
The Wei-Norman technique allows to express the solution of a system of linear non-autonomous differential equations in terms of product of exponentials. In particular it enables to find a time-ordered product of exponentials by solving a…
Group theoretical methods are used to study some properties of the Riccati equation, which is the only differential equation admitting a nonlinear superposition principle. The Wei-Norman method is applied to obtain the associated…

A {\it Lie system} is a nonautonomous system of first-order differential equations admitting a {\it superposition rule}, i.e., a map expressing its general solution in terms of a generic family of particular solutions and some constants.…
Lie algebraic techniques are powerful and widely-used tools for studying dynamics and metrology in quantum optics. When the Hamiltonian generates a Lie algebra with finite dimension, the unitary evolution can be expressed as a finite…
In this paper it is stressed that there is no {\em physical} reason for symmetries to be linear and that Lie group theory is therefore too restrictive. We illustrate this with some simple examples. Then we give a readable review on the…
The system of weak normality equations constitutes a part in the complete system of normality equations. Solutions of each of these two systems of equations are associated with some definite classes of Newtonian dynamical systems in…
We revisit the results on admissible transformations between normal linear systems of second-order ordinary differential equations with an arbitrary number of dependent variables under several appropriate gauges of the arbitrary elements…
We associate to an arbitrary $\mathbb Z$-gradation of the Lie algebra of a Lie group a system of Riccati-type first order differential equations. The particular cases under consideration are the ordinary Riccati and the matrix Riccati…
Matrix Riccati equations and other nonlinear ordinary differential equations with superposition formulas are, in the case of constant coefficients, shown to have the same exact solutions as their group theoretical discretizations. Explicit…
A Lie 2-algebra is a linear category equipped with a functorial bilinear operation satisfying skew-symmetry and Jacobi identity up to natural transformations which themselves obey coherence laws of their own. Functors and natural…
We study automorphic Lie algebras and their applications to integrable systems. Automorphic Lie algebras are a natural generalisation of celebrated Kac-Moody algebras to the case when the group of automorphisms is not cyclic. They are…
We consider the natural Lie algebra structure on the (associative) group algebra of a finite group $G$, and show that the Lie subalgebras associated to natural involutive antiautomorphisms of this group algebra are reductive ones. We give a…
A new singular perturbation method based on the Lie symmetry group is presented to a system of difference equations. This method yields consistent derivation of a renormalization group equation which gives an asymptotic solution of the…
This study will explicitly demonstrate by example that an unrestricted infinite and forward recursive hierarchy of differential equations must be identified as an unclosed system of equations, despite the fact that to each unknown function…
A new approach to the problem of group classification is applied to the class of first-order non-linear equations of the form $u_a u_a=F(t,u,u_t)$. It allowed complete solution of the group classification problem for a class of equations…
We study the interplay between the differential Galois group and the Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries of systems of linear differential equations. We show that some symmetries can be seen as solutions of a hierarchy of linear…
