Download or read book Symmetries and Related Topics in Differential and Difference Equations written by David Blázquez-Sanz and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers collected here discuss topics such as Lie symmetries, equivalence transformations and differential invariants, group theoretical methods in linear equations, and the development of some geometrical methods in theoretical physics. The reader will find new results in symmetries of differential and difference equations, applications in classical and quantum mechanics, two fundamental problems of theoretical mechanics, and the mathematical nature of time in Lagrangian mechanics.
