The conformal transformation of the Misner–Sharp mass is reexamined. It has recently been found that this mass does not transform like usual masses do under conformal mappings of spacetime. We show that when it comes to conformal transformations, the widely used geometric definition of the Misner–Sharp mass is fundamentally different from the original conception of the latter. Indeed, when working within the full hydrodynamic setup that gave rise to that mass, i.e. the physics of gravitational collapse, the familiar conformal transformation of a usual mass is recovered. The case of scalar–tensor theories of gravity is also examined.

Abstract In this paper the fundamental concept (due to Euler, 1734) of how to make a first order ordinary differential equation exact by means of integrating factors, is extended to n-th order (n ≥ 2) ordinary differential equations and to systems of first order ordinary differential equations. For new classes of differential equations first integrals or complete solutions can be constructed. Also a perturbation method based on integrating factors can be developed. To show how this perturbation method works the method is applied to the well-known Van der Pol equation.

We analyze Noether and -symmetries of the path equation describing the minimum drag work. First, the partial Lagrangian for the governing equation is constructed, and then the determining equations are obtained based on the partial Lagrangian approach. For specific altitude functions, Noether symmetry classification is carried out and the first integrals, conservation laws and group invariant solutions are obtained and classified. Then, secondly, by using the mathematical relationship with Lie point symmetries we investigate -symmetry properties and the corresponding reduction forms, integrating factors, and first integrals for specific altitude functions of the governing equation. Furthermore, we apply the Jacobi last multiplier method as a different approach to determine the new forms of -symmetries. Finally, we compare the results obtained from different classifications.
