This paper first discusses the condition in which Casoratian entries satisfy for the differential-difference Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation. Then from the Casoratian condition we find a transformation under which the differential-difference Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation is invariant. The transformation, consisting of a combination of Galilean and scalar transformations, provides a single-parameter invariant group for the equation. We further derive the related symmetry, and the symmetry together with other two symmetries form a closed three-dimensional Lie algebra.

There is a remarkable analogy between Euler’s equations for a rigid body and his equations for an ideal fluid. The unifying idea is that of a Lie algebra with an inner product, which is not invariant, on it. The concepts of a vector space, Lie algebra, and inner product are reviewed. A hamiltonian dynamical system is derived from each metric Lie algebra. The Virasoro algebra (famous in string theory) is shown to lead to the KdV equation; and in a limiting case, to the Burgers equation for shocks. A hamiltonian formalism for two-dimensional Euler equations is then developed in detail. A discretization of these equations (using a spectral method) is then developed using mathematical ideas from quantum mechanics. Then a hamiltonian formalism for the full three-dimensional Euler equations is developed. The Clebsch variables which provide canonical pairs for fluid dynamics are then explained, in analogy to angular momentum.
