AbstractAfter formulating the alternate potential principle for the nonlinear differential equation corresponding to the generalised Emden-Fowler equation, the invariance identities of Rund [14] involving the Lagrangian and the generators of the infinitesimal Lie group are used for writing down the first integrals of the said equation via the Noether theorem. Further, for physical realisable forms of the parameters involved and through repeated application of invariance under the transformation obtained, a number of exact solutions are arrived at both for the Emden-Fowler equation and classical Emden equations. A comparative study with Bluman-Cole and scale-invariant techniques reveals quite a number of remarkable features of the techniques used here.

We consider the time-dependent dynamical system q¨a=−Γbcaq˙bq˙c−ω(t)Qa(q) where ω(t) is a non-zero arbitrary function and the connection coefficients Γbca are computed from the kinetic metric (kinetic energy) of the system. In order to determine the quadratic first integrals (QFIs) I we assume that I=Kabq˙aq˙b+Kaq˙a+K where the unknown coefficients Kab,Ka,K are tensors depending on t,qa and impose the condition dIdt=0. This condition leads to a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) involving the quantities Kab,Ka,K,ω(t) and Qa(q). From these PDEs, it follows that Kab is a Killing tensor (KT) of the kinetic metric. We use the KT Kab in two ways: a. We assume a general polynomial form in t both for Kab and Ka; b. We express Kab in a basis of the KTs of order 2 of the kinetic metric assuming the coefficients to be functions of t. In both cases, this leads to a new system of PDEs whose solution requires that we specify either ω(t) or Qa(q). We consider first that ω(t) is a general polynomial in t and find that in this case the dynamical system admits two independent QFIs which we collect in a Theorem. Next, we specify the quantities Qa(q) to be the generalized time-dependent Kepler potential V=−ω(t)rν and determine the functions ω(t) for which QFIs are admitted. We extend the discussion to the non-linear differential equation x¨=−ω(t)xμ+ϕ(t)x˙(μ≠−1) and compute the relation between the coefficients ω(t),ϕ(t) so that QFIs are admitted. We apply the results to determine the QFIs of the generalized Lane–Emden equation.

This study deals with the determination of Lagrangians, first integrals, and integrating factors of the modified Emden equation by using Jacobi and Prelle–Singer methods based on the Lie symmetries and λ-symmetries. It is shown that the Jacobi method enables us to obtain Jacobi last multipliers by means of the Lie symmetries of the equation. Additionally, via the Lie symmetries of modified Emden equation, we analyze some mathematical connections between λ-symmetries and Prelle–Singer method. New and nontrivial Lagrangian forms, conservation laws, and exact solutions of the equation are presented and discussed.

Abstract Variational and divergence symmetries are studied in this paper for the whole class of linear and nonlinear equations of maximal symmetry, and the associated first integrals are given in explicit form. All the main results obtained are formulated as theorems or conjectures for equations of a general order. A discussion of the existence of variational symmetries with respect to a different Lagrangian, which turns out to be the most common and most readily available one, is also carried out. This leads to significantly different results when compared with the former case of the transformed Lagrangian. The latter analysis also gives rise to more general results concerning the variational symmetry algebra of any linear or nonlinear equations.

Numerical schemes that are implemented by interpolation of exact solutions to a differential equation naturally preserve geometric properties of the differential equation. The solution interpolation method can be used for development of a new class of geometric integrators, which generally show better performances than standard method both quantitatively and qualitatively. Several examples including a linear convection equation and a nonlinear heat equation are included.

In this paper, we utilize the Lie symmetry analysis method to calculate new solutions for the Fornberg-Whitham equation (FWE). Applying a reduction method introduced by M. C. Nucci, exact solutions and first integrals of reduced ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are considered. Nonlinear self-adjointness of the FWE is proved and conserved vectors are computed

We consider the Noetherian symmetries of second-order ODEs subjected to forces with nonzero curl. Both position and velocity dependent forces are considered. In the former case, the first integrals are shown to follow from the symmetries of the celebrated Emden–Fowler equation.

In this work, we consider the hyperbolic equations to determine the approximate solutions via Sinc-Galerkin Method (SGM). Without any numerical integration, the partial differential equation transformed to an algebraic equation system. For the numerical calculations, Maple is used. Several numerical examples are investigated and the results determined from the method are compared with the exact solutions. The results are illustrated both in the table and graphically.

Abstract The model of a single-emitter laser generating in the regime of small number of photons in the cavity mode is theoretically investigated. Based on a system of equations for different moments of the field operators the analytical expressions for mean photon number and photon number variance are obtained. Using the master equation approach the differential equation for the phase-averaged quasi-probability Q is derived. For some limiting cases the exact solutions of this equation are found.
