    Nonclassical symmetries for a class of reaction-diffusion equations: the method of heir-equations

    No full text
    The nonclassical symmetries method is applied to a class of reaction-diffusion equations with nonlinear source, i.e. ut = uxx +cux +R(u, x). Several cases are obtained by using suitable solutions of the heir-equations as described in [M.C. Nucci, Nonclassical symmetries as special solutions of heir-equations, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 279 (2003) 168–179]

    Quantization of classical mechanics: shall we Lie?

    No full text
    We propose a Lie-Noether-symmetry solution of two problems that arise with classical quantization: the quantization of higher-order (more than second) Euler-Lagrange ordinary differential equations of classical mechanics and the quantization of any second-order Euler-Lagrange ordinary differential equation that classically comes from a simple linear equation via nonlinear canonical transformations

    Using Lie symmetries in epidemiology

    No full text
    Lie symmetry method has been and still is successfully applied in different problems of physics for about a hundred years, but its application in epidemiology has been rare perhaps because the ordinary differential equations studied in this field are generally of first-order in contrast with those in physics which are usually of second-order. Here we exemplify the use of Lie symmetry method in the study of mathematical models in epidemiology, and show how it complements the mathematical techniques (qualitative and numerical analysis) traditionally used

    Reciprocal auto-Bäcklund transformations via the Möbius group

    No full text
    The method of generating novel equations by inverse transformation plus change of the dependent variable induced on any singularity manifold equation is proposed. It is shown that the invariance of the singularity manifold equations under the Möbius group leads to reciprocal auto- Bäcklund transformations of these novel equations. The method is illustrated by application to some well-known equations
