Lie point symmetries and ODEs passing the Painlev\'e test
The Lie point symmetries of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that are
candidates for having the Painlev\'e property are explored for ODEs of order . Among the 6 ODEs identifying the Painlev\'e transcendents only
, and have nontrivial symmetry algebras and that only
for very special values of the parameters. In those cases the transcendents can
be expressed in terms of simpler functions, i.e. elementary functions,
solutions of linear equations, elliptic functions or Painlev\'e transcendents
occurring at lower order. For higher order or higher degree ODEs that pass the
Painlev\'e test only very partial classifications have been published. We
consider many examples that exist in the literature and show how their symmetry
groups help to identify those that may define genuinely new transcendents
A machine learning framework for data driven acceleration of computations of differential equations
We propose a machine learning framework to accelerate numerical computations
of time-dependent ODEs and PDEs. Our method is based on recasting
(generalizations of) existing numerical methods as artificial neural networks,
with a set of trainable parameters. These parameters are determined in an
offline training process by (approximately) minimizing suitable (possibly
non-convex) loss functions by (stochastic) gradient descent methods. The
proposed algorithm is designed to be always consistent with the underlying
differential equation. Numerical experiments involving both linear and
non-linear ODE and PDE model problems demonstrate a significant gain in
computational efficiency over standard numerical methods
