The aim of this work is to develop a systematic manner to close overdetermined systems arising from conformal Killing tensors (CKT). The research performs this action for 1-tensor and 2-tensors. This research makes it possible to develop a…
We seek exact solutions to the Einstein field equations which arise when two spacetime geometries are conformally related. Whilst this is a simple method to generate new solutions to the field equations, very few such examples have been…

The Butcher group is a powerful tool to analyse integration methods for ordinary differential equations, in particular Runge--Kutta methods. Recently, a natural Lie group structure has been constructed for this group. Unfortunately, the…
In this Thesis we develop the geometric formulations for higher-order autonomous and non-autonomous dynamical systems, and second-order field theories. In all cases, the physical information of the system is given in terms of a Lagrangian…

Lie symmetries of systems of second-order linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients are exhaustively described over both the complex and real fields. The exact lower and upper bounds for the dimensions of the maximal…

This book explores geometries defined by left-invariant distance functions on Lie groups, with a particular focus on nilpotent groups and Carnot groups equipped with geodesic distances. Geodesic left-invariant metrics are either…
Symmetry is a powerful tool for finding analytical solutions to differential equations, both partial and ordinary, via the similarity variables or via the invariance of the equation under group transformations. It is the largest group of…

We implement two algorithms in MATHEMATICA for classifying automorphisms of lower-dimensional non-commutative Lie algebras. The first algorithm is a brute-force approach whereas the second is an evolutionary strategy. These algorithms are…

We develop continuous-stage Runge-Kutta methods based on weighted orthogonal polynomials in this paper. There are two main highlighted merits for developing such methods: Firstly, we do not need to study the tedious solution of…
There exist many Runge-Kutta methods (explicit or implicit), more or less adapted to specific problems. Some of them have interesting properties, such as stability for stiff problems or symplectic capability for problems with energy…
