Axioms of Lie algebroid are discussed. In particular, it is shown that a Lie quasi-algebroid (i.e. a Lie algebra bracket on the C∞(M)-module E of sections of a vector bundle E over a manifold M which satisfies [X, fY ] = f [X, Y ] + A(X,f)Y for all X, Y ∈ E , f ∈ C∞(M), and for certain A(X,f) ∈ C∞(M)) is a Lie algebroid if rank(E) > 1, and is a local Lie algebra in the sense of Kirillov if E is...

Lie symmetry method has been and still is successfully applied in different problems of physics for about a hundred years, but its application in epidemiology has been rare perhaps because the ordinary differential equations studied in this field are generally of first-order in contrast with those in physics which are usually of second-order. Here we exemplify the use of Lie symmetry method in ...

Lie symmetries for ordinary differential equations are studied. In systems of ordinary differential equations, there do not always exist non-trivial Lie symmetries around equilibrium points. We present a necessary condition for existence of Lie symmetries analytic in the neighbourhood of an equilibrium point. In addition, this result can be applied to a necessary condition for existence of a Li...

We suggest a generalization of the notion of invariance of a given partial differential equation with respect to Lie-Bäcklund vector field. Such generalization proves to be effective and enables us to construct principally new Ansätze reducing evolution-type equations to several ordinary differential equations. In the framework of the said generalization we obtain principally new reductions of ...

The mixed convection flow with mass transfer over a stretching surface with suction or injection is examined. By using Lie group analysis, the symmetries of the equations are calculated. A four-finite parameter and one infinite parameter Lie group transformations are obtained. Two different cases are discussed, one for the scaling symmetry and the other for spiral symmetry. The governing partia...

In this paper, using the Lie group analysis method, we study the invariance properties of the time fractional fifth-order KdV equation. A systematic research to derive Lie point symmetries to time fractional fifth-order KdV equation is performed. In the sense of point symmetry, all of the vector fields and the symmetry reductions of the fractional fifth-order KdV equation are obtained. At last,...

The title compound, penta-barium tetra-indium hexa-anti-mony, was synthesized by an indium-flux reaction and its structure features layers composed of edge-sharing In2Sb6 units. The voids between the In4Sb6 layers are filled by Ba(2+) cations, which are all surrounded by six Sb atoms and form bicapped octa-hedral or triangular prismatic coordination geometries. There are five barium ions in the...

This paper describes a new algorithm for determining all discrete contact symmetries of any differential equation whose Lie contact symmetries are known. The method is constructive and is easy to use. It is based upon the observation that the adjoint action of any contact symmetry is an automorphism of the Lie algebra of generators of Lie contact symmetries. Consequently, all contact symmetries...

Recent work has discussed the importance of multiplicative closure for the Markov models used in phylogenetics. For continuous-time Markov chains, a sufficient condition for multiplicative closure of a model class is ensured by demanding that the set of rate-matrices belonging to the model class form a Lie algebra. It is the case that some well-known Markov models do form Lie algebras and we re...

This Letter focuses on studying non-Noether symmetries and conserved quantities of the nonconservative dynamical system. Based on the relationships among motion, nonconservative forces and Lagrangian, we present conservation laws on non-Noether symmetries for nonconservative dynamical systems. A criterion is obtained on which non-Noether symmetry leads to Noether symmetry in nonconservative sys...
