Lie symmetries and conserved quantities of controllable nonholonomic dynamical systems

This paper concentrates on studying the Lie symmetries and conserved quantities of controllable nonholonomic dynamical systems. Based on the infinitesimal transformation, we establish the Lie symmetric determining equations and restrictive equations and give three definitions of Lie symmetries before the structure equations and conserved quantities of the Lie symmetries are obtained. Then we make a study of the inverse problems. Finally, an example is presented for illustrating the results.     

The Lie symmetries and Noether conserved quantities of discrete mechanical systems with variable mass

This paper studies the Lie symmetries and Noether conserved quantities of discrete mechanical systems with variable mass. The discrete Euler-Lagrange equation and energy evolution equation are derived by using a total variational principle. The invariance of discrete equations under infinitesimal transformation groups is defined to be Lie symmetry. The condition of obtaining the Noether conserved quantities from the Lie symmetries is also presented. An example is discussed for applications of the results.     

The Lie symmetries and Noether conserved quantities of discrete non-conservative mechanical systems

This paper investigates the Lie symmetries and Noether conserved quantities of discrete non-conservative mechanical systems. The variational principle of discrete mechanics, from which discrete motion equations of systems are deduced, is generalized to the case of including the time variational. The requirement for an invariant group transformation is defined to be the Lie symmetry and the criterion when the Noether conserved quantities may be obtained from Lie symmetries is also presented. An example is discussed for applications of the results.     

Non-Lie Symmetry Groups of （2＋1）-Dimensional Nonlinear Systems

A modified direct method is developed to find finite symmetry groups of nonlinear mathematical physics systems. Applying the modified direct method to the well-known （2＋1）-dimensional asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Vesselov equation and Nizhnik Novikov-Vesselov equation, both the Lie point symmetry groups and the non-Lie symmetry groups are obtained. The Lie symmetry groups obtained via traditional Lie approaches are only speciai cases. Furthermore, the expressions of the exact finite transformations of the Lie groups are much simpler than those obtained via the standard approaches.

Lie Reduction and Conditional Symmetries of Some Variable Coefficient Nonlinear Wave Equations＊

Lie symmetry reduction of some truly ＂variable coefficient＂ wave equations which are singled out from a class of （1 ＋ 1）-dimensional variable coefficient nonlinear wave equations with respect to one and two-dimensional algebras is carried out. Some classes of exact solutions of the investigated equations are found by means of both the reductions and some modern techniques such as additional equivalent transformations and hidden symmetries and so on. Conditional symmetries are also discussed.     

New interaction solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

The residual symmetry relating to the truncated Painlev′e expansion of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili(KP) equation is nonlocal, which is localized in this paper by introducing multiple new dependent variables. By using the standard Lie group approach, new symmetry reduction solutions for the KP equation are obtained based on the general form of Lie point symmetry for the prolonged system. In this way, the interaction solutions between solitons and background waves are obtained, which are hard to find by other traditional methods.

On New Similarity Solutions of the Boiti–Leon–Pempinelli System

In the present work, the new exact solutions of the Boiti-Leon-Pempinelli system have been found. The system has extensive physical background. The exact solutions of the Boiti-Leon-Pempinelli system are investigated using similarity transformation method via Lie group theory. Lie symmetry generators are used for constructing similarity variables for the given system of partial differential equations, which lead to the new system of partial differentiaJ equations with one variable less at each step and eventually to a system of ordinary differential equations （ODEs）. Finally, these ODEs are solved exactly. The exact solutions are obtained under some parametric restrictions. The elastic behavior of the soliton solutions is shown graphically by taking some appropriate choices of the arbitrary functions involved in the solutions.     

Sub-ODE＇s New Solutions and Their Applications to Two Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations with Higher-Order Nonlinear Terms

In the present paper, with the aid of symbolic computation, families of new nontrivial solutions of the first-order sub-ODE F12 = AF2 ＋ BF2＋p ＋ CF2＋2p （where F1= dF/dε, p 〉 0） are obtained. To our best knowledge, these nontrivial solutions have not been found in [X.Z. Li and M.L. Wang, Phys. Lett. A 361 （2007） 115] and IS. Zhang, W. Wang, and J.L. Tong, Phys. Lett. A 372 （2008） 3808] and other existent papers until now. Using these nontrivial solutions, the sub-ODE method is described to construct several kinds of exact travelling wave solutions for the generalized KdV-mKdV equation with higher-order nonlinear terms and the generalized ZK equation with higher-order nonlinear terms. By means of this method, many other physically important nonlinear partial differential equations with nonlinear terms of any order can be investigated and new nontrivial solutions can be explicitly obtained with the help of symbolic computation system Maple or Mathematics.

Non-Noether symmetries and conservative quantities of nonholonomic nonconservative dynamical systems are investigated in this paper. Based on the relationships among motion, nonconservative forces, nonholonomic constrained forces and Lagrangian, non-Noether symmetries and Lutzky conservative quantities are presented for nonholonomic nonconservative dynamical systems. The relation between non-Noether symmetry and Noether symmetry is discussed and it is further shown that non-Noether conservative quantities can be obtained by a complete set of Noether invariants. Finally,an example is given to illustrate these results.     

Deformed oscillator algebra for quantum superintegrable systems in two-dimensional Euclidean space and on a complex two-sphere

In this work,we study superintegrable quantum systems in two-dimensional Euclidean space and on a complex twosphere with second-order constants of motion.We show that these constants of motion satisfy the deformed oscillator algebra.Then,we easily calculate the energy eigenvalues in an algebraic way by solving of a system of two equations satisfied by its structure function.The results are in agreement to the ones obtained from the solution of the relevant Schrdinger equation.     

Partial dynamical symmetries

This overview focuses on the notion of partial dynamical symmetry (PDS), for which a prescribed symmetry is obeyed by a subset of solvable eigenstates, but is not shared by the Hamiltonian. General algorithms are presented to identify interactions, of a given order, with such intermediate symmetry structure. Explicit bosonic and fermionic Hamiltonians with PDS are constructed in the framework of models based on spectrum generating algebras. PDSs of various types are shown to be relevant to nuclear spectroscopy, quantum phase transitions and systems with mixed chaotic and regular dynamics.
