In this paper, by using the classical Lie symmetry approach, Lie point symmetries and reductions of one Blaszak- Marciniak （BM） four-field lattice equation are obtained. Two kinds of exact solutions of a rational form and an exponential form are given. Moreover, we show that the equation has a sequence of generalized symmetries and conservation laws of polynomial form, which further confirms the integrability of the BM system.     

Form Invariance and Lie Symmetries of the Rotational Relativistic Birkhoff System

For a rotational relativistic Birkhoff system,the relation between the form invariance and the Lie symmetries are given Under infinitesimal transformations of groups.If the infinitesimal transformation generators ξ0 and ξμ satisfy the conditions of the form invariance,and the determining equation of Lie symmetries holds,the form invariance leads to a Lie symmetry of the system.Furthermore,if the infinitesimal transformations generators ξ0 and ξμ satisfy the conditions of the form invariance and the determining equation of Lie symmetry holds,and if there is a gauge function G satisfying the structure equation of Lie symmetry,then the form invariance will lead to the Lie symmetrical conserved quantity of the system.An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Symmetry groups and spiral wave solution of a wave propagation equation

We study a third-order nonlinear evolution equation, which can be transformed to the modified KdV equation, using the Lie symmetry method. The Lie point symmetries and the one-dimensional optimal system of the symmetry algebras are determined. Those symmetries are some types of nonlocal symmetries or hidden symmetries of the modified KdV equation. The group-invariant solutions, particularly the travelling wave and spiral wave solutions, are discussed in detail, and a type of spiral wave solution which is smooth in the origin is obtained.

Exact solutions and residual symmetries of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur system

The residual symmetries of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur(AKNS)equations are obtained by the truncated Painleve′analysis.The residual symmetries for the AKNS equations are proved to be nonlocal and the nonlocal residual symmetries are extended to the local Lie point symmetries of a prolonged AKNS system.The local Lie point symmetries of the prolonged AKNS equations are composed of the residual symmetries and the standard Lie point symmetries,which suggests that the residual symmetry method is a useful complement to the classical Lie group theory.The calculation on the symmetries shows that the enlarged equations are invariant under the scaling transformations,the space–time translations,and the shift translations.Three types of similarity solutions and the reduction equations are demonstrated.Furthermore,several types of exact solutions for the AKNS equations are obtained with the help of the symmetry method and the Bcklund transformations between the AKNS equations and the Schwarzian AKNS equation.

Then, on the basis of the concepts of Lie symmetries and higher order adiabatic invariants of a mechanical system, the perturbation of Lie symmetries for the system with the action of small disturbance is investigated, the adiabatic invariants of generalized Hojman type for the system are directly obtained, the conditions for existence of the adiabatic invariants and their forms are proved. Finally an example is presented to illustrate these results.

A note on the Lie symmetries of complex partial differential equations and their split real systems

Folklore suggests that the split Lie-like operators of a complex partial differential equation are symmetries of the split system of real partial differential equations. However, this is not the case generally. We illustrate this by using the complex heat equation, wave equation with dissipation, the nonlinear Burgers equation and nonlinear KdV equations. We split the Lie symmetries of a complex partial differential equation in the real domain and obtain real Lie-like operators. Further, the complex partial differential equation is split into two coupled or uncoupled real partial differential equations which constitute a system of two equations for two real functions of two real variables. The Lie symmetries of this system are constructed by the classical Lie approach. We compare these Lie symmetries with the split Lie-like operators of the given complex partial differential equation for the examples considered. We conclude that the split Lie-like operators of complex partial differential equations are not in general symmetries of the split system of real partial differential equations. We prove a proposition that gives the criteria when the Lie-like operators are symmetries of the split system.
