INTRODUCTION This papers deals with partial differential equations of second order, linear, with constant and not constant coefficients, in two variables, which admit real characteristics. I face the study of PDEs with the mentality of the…

We describe the second order ODE's cubic in the first order derivative with 2-dimensional symmetry algebra. We show that there exist only eight different types of them. We also construct the easily verifiable Equivalence Criterion for every…

We prove the invariance of homogeneous second-order Hamiltonian operators under the action of projective reciprocal transformations. We establish a correspondence between such operators in dimension $n$ and $3$-forms in dimension $n + 1$.…

A contact projective structure is a contact path geometry the paths of which are among the geodesics of some affine connection. In the manner of T.Y. Thomas there is associated to each contact projective structure an ambient affine…

We derive a closed-form expression for the projection onto a capped rotated second-order cone -- a convex set that arises in perspective relaxations of nonlinear programs with binary indicator variables. The closed-form solution involves…

Transformations of differential equations to other equivalent equations play a central role in many routines for solving intricate equations. A class of differential equations that are particularly amenable to solution techniques based on…

We study complex analytic projective connections on surfaces in projective n-spaces in terms of the "second" neighborhood of the surface in the ambient space, and in terms of the osculating behavior of the integral curves. We also…

In this work we develop a theory of Vessels. This object arises in the study of overdetermined 2D systems invariant in one of the variables, which are usually called time invariant. To each overdetermined time invariant 2D systems there is…

Cartan's equivalence method is applied to explicitly construct invariant coframes for four branches, which are used to characterize all non-linearizable third-order ODEs with a four-dimensional Lie symmetry subalgebra under point…

We characterise $n$th order ODEs for which the space of solutions $M$ is equipped with a particular paraconformal structure in the sense of \cite{BE}, that is a splitting of the tangent bundle as a symmetric tensor product of rank-two…

We deal with the construction of linear connections associated with second order ordinary differential equations with and without first order constraints. We use a novel method allowing glueing of submodule covariant derivatives to produce…

In this paper, we will construct the projective resolution of any $\cR$-2-module, define the derived 2-functor and give some related properties of the derived 2-functor.

The equivalence problem for second order ODEs given modulo point transformations is solved in full analogy with the equivalence problem of nondegenerate 3-dimensional CR structures. This approach enables an analog of the Feffereman metrics…

We show that on a surface locally every affine torsion-free connection is projectively equivalent to a Weyl connection. First, this is done using exterior differential system theory. Second, this is done by showing that the solutions of the…

In the present paper we consider the problem of local equivalence of second order ODEs which are cubic in second derivative under the action of the pseudogroup of contact transformations. We show how it may be reduced to the equivalence…

The space of n (ordered) points on the projective line, modulo automorphisms of the line, is one of the most important and classical examples of an invariant theory quotient, and is one of the first examples given in any course. Generators…

Invariant linearization criteria of square systems of second-order quadratically semi-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that can be represented as geodesic equations are extended to square systems of ODEs cubically nonlinear in…
