Abstract

After the initial seminal works of Sophus Lie on ordinary differential equations, several important results on point symmetry group analysis of ordinary differential equations have been obtained. In this review, we present the salient features of point symmetry group classification of scalar ordinary differential equations: linear __n__th‐order, second‐order equations as well as related results. The main focus here is the contributions of Peter Leach, in this area, in whose honour this paper is written on the occasion of his 65th birthday celebrations.

The concept of the complete symmetry group of a differential equation introduced by J. Krause (1994, J. Math. Phys. 35, 5734-5748) is extended to integrals of such equations. This paper is devoted to some aspects characterising complete symmetry groups. The algebras of the symmetries of both differe

We undertake a study of the first integrals of linear nth order scalar ordinary differential equations with maximal symmetry. We establish patterns for the first integrals associated with these equations. It is shown that second and third order equations are the pathological cases in the study of hi
