Lie Point Symmetries and Commuting Flows for Equations on Lattices
Different symmetry formalisms for difference equations on lattices are
reviewed and applied to perform symmetry reduction for both linear and
nonlinear partial difference equations. Both Lie point symmetries and
generalized symmetries are considered and applied to the discrete heat equation
and to the integrable discrete time Toda lattice
Lie Symmetries and Exact Solutions of First Order Difference Schemes
We show that any first order ordinary differential equation with a known Lie
point symmetry group can be discretized into a difference scheme with the same
symmetry group. In general, the lattices are not regular ones, but must be
adapted to the symmetries considered. The invariant difference schemes can be
so chosen that their solutions coincide exactly with those of the original
differential equation.Comment: Minor changes and journal-re
Lie point symmetries of differential--difference equations
We present an algorithm for determining the Lie point symmetries of
differential equations on fixed non transforming lattices, i.e. equations
involving both continuous and discrete independent variables. The symmetries of
a specific integrable discretization of the Krichever-Novikov equation, the
Toda lattice and Toda field theory are presented as examples of the general
method.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figur
Supersymmetric KdV equation: Darboux transformation and discrete systems
For the supersymmetric KdV equation, a proper Darboux transformation is
presented. This Darboux transformation leads to the B\"{a}cklund transformation
found early by Liu and Xie \cite{liu2}. The Darboux transformation and the
related B\"{a}cklund transformation are used to construct integrable super
differential-difference and difference-difference systems. The continuum limits
of these discrete systems and of their Lax pairs are also considered.Comment: 13pages, submitted to Journal of Physics
Lie discrete symmetries of lattice equations
We extend two of the methods previously introduced to find discrete
symmetries of differential equations to the case of difference and
differential-difference equations. As an example of the application of the
methods, we construct the discrete symmetries of the discrete Painlev\'e I
equation and of the Toda lattice equation
Difference schemes with point symmetries and their numerical tests
Symmetry preserving difference schemes approximating second and third order
ordinary differential equations are presented. They have the same three or
four-dimensional symmetry groups as the original differential equations. The
new difference schemes are tested as numerical methods. The obtained numerical
solutions are shown to be much more accurate than those obtained by standard
methods without an increase in cost. For an example involving a solution with a
singularity in the integration region the symmetry preserving scheme, contrary
to standard ones, provides solutions valid beyond the singular point.Comment: 26 pages 7 figure
