Let g be a non-zero finite-dimensional split semisimple Lie algebra with root system Δ. Let Γ be a finite set of integral weights of g containing Δ and {0}. We say that a Lie algebra L over F is generalized root graded, or more exactly (Γ,g)-graded, if L contains a semisimple subalgebra isomorphic to g, the g-module L is the direct sum of its weight subspaces Lα (α ∈ Γ) and L is generated by all Lα with α ̸= 0 as a Lie algebra. If g is the split simple Lie algebra and Γ = Δ∪{0} then L is said to be root-graded. Let g∼= sln and Θn = {0,±εi±ε j,±εi,±2εi | 1 ≤ i ̸= j ≤ n} where {ε1, . . . , εn} is the set of weights of the natural sln-module. Then a Lie algebra L is (Θn,g)-graded if and only if L is generated by g as an ideal and the g-module L decomposes into copies of the adjoint module, the natural module V, its symmetric and exterior squares S2V and ∧2V, their duals and the one dimensional trivial g-module. In this thesis we study properties of generalized root graded Lie algebras and focus our attention on (Θn, sln)-graded Lie algebras. We describe the multiplicative structures and the coordinate algebras of (Θn, sln)-graded Lie algebras, classify these Lie algebras and determine their central extensions.

This thesis investigates the role of filtrations and gradings in the study of Lie superalgebras. The main connections between the Z-grading of a Lie superalgebra and its structure are explained. As an example, the simplicity of the Lie superalgebras W(m,n) and S(m,n) is proved. Finally, the strongly symmetric gradings of length three and five of the Lie superalgebras W(m,n) and S(m,n) are classified.

In this thesis we consider various homological properties of differential graded algebras, and more generally, properties of arbitrary triangulated categories which have set indexed coproducts. A major example of such a triangulated category is the derived category of a differential graded algebra. We present the background material to the theory of triangulated categories, derived categories and differential graded algebras as well as a brief resume of classical homological algebra in Chapters 2 and 3.

Full textAbstract:
The main goal of this thesis is to investigate properties of two types of Differential Graded Algebras (or DGAs), namely upper triangular matrix DGAs and Gorenstein DGAs. In doing so we extend a number of corresponding ring theory results to the more general setting of DGAs and DG modules. Chapters 2 and 3 contain background material. In chapter 2 we give a brief summary of some important aspects of homological algebra. Starting with the definition of an abelian category we give the construction of the derived category and the definition of derived functors. In chapter 3 we present the basics about Differential Graded Algebras and Differential Graded Modules in particular extending the definitions of the derived category and derived functors to the Differential Graded case before providing some results on Recollement of DGAs, Dualising DG-modules and Gorenstein DGAs. Chapters 4 and 5 contain the bulk of the work for the Thesis. In chapter 4 we look at upper triangular matrix DGAs and in particular we generalise a result for upper triangular matrix rings to the situation of upper triangular matrix differential graded algebras. An upper triangular matrix DGA has the form [R M / 0 S] where R and S are DGAs and M is a DG R-Sop-bimodule. We show that under certain conditions on the DG-module M, and given the existence of a DG R-module X from which we can build the derived category D(R), that there exists a derived equivalence between the upper triangular matrix DGAs [R M / 0 S] and [ S M’ / 0 R’], where the DG-bimodule M0 is obtained from M and X, and R0 is the endomorphism differential graded algebra of a K-projective resolution of X. In chapter 5 we turn our attention to Gorenstein DGAs and generalise some results from Gorenstein rings to Gorenstein DGAs. We present a number of Gorenstein Theorems which state, for certain types of DGAs, that being Gorenstein is equivalent to the bounded and finite versions of the Auslander and Bass classes being maximal. We also provide a new definition of a Gorenstein morphism for DGAs by considering a DG bimodule as a generalised morphism of DGAs. We then show that some existing results for Gorenstein morphism extend to these "Generalised Gorenstein Morphisms". We finally conclude with some examples of generalised Gorenstein morphisms for some well known DGAs.

Full textAbstract:
Let (X, μ) be a measure space, and let L1, . . . ,Ln be (possibly unbounded) selfadjoint
operators on L2(X, μ), which commute strongly pairwise, i.e., which
admit a joint spectral resolution E on Rn. A joint functional calculus is then
defined via spectral integration: for every Borel function m : Rn → C,
m(L) = m(L1, . . . ,Ln) =
∫ Rn m(λ) dE(λ) is a normal operator on L2(X, μ), which is bounded if and only if m - called
the joint spectral multiplier associated to m(L) - is (E-essentially) bounded.
However, the abstract theory of spectral integrals does not tackle the following
problem: to find conditions on the multiplier m ensuring the boundedness of
m(L) on Lp(X, μ) for some p ≠ 2.
We are interested in this problem when the measure space is a connected Lie
group G with a right Haar measure, and L1, . . . ,Ln are left-invariant differential
operators on G. In fact, the question has been studied quite extensively in the
case of a single operator, namely, a sublaplacian or a higher-order analogue.
On the other hand, for multiple operators, only specific classes of groups and
specific choices of operators have been considered in the literature.
Suppose that L1, . . . ,Ln are formally self-adjoint, left-invariant differential
operators on a connected Lie group G, which commute pairwise (as operators
on smooth functions). Under the assumption that the algebra generated by
L1, . . . ,Ln contains a weighted subcoercive operator --- a notion due to [ER98],
including positive elliptic operators, sublaplacians and Rockland operators---we
prove that L1, . . . ,Ln are (essentially) self-adjoint and strongly commuting on
L2(G). Moreover, we perform an abstract study of such a system of operators,
in connection with the algebraic structure and the representation theory of G,
similarly as what is done in the literature for the algebras of differential operators
associated with Gelfand pairs.
Under the additional assumption that G has polynomial volume growth,
weighted L1 estimates are obtained for the convolution kernel of the operator
m(L) corresponding to a compactly supported multiplier m satisfying some
smoothness condition. The order of smoothness which we require on m is related
to the degree of polynomial growth of G. Some techniques are presented,
which allow, for some specific groups and operators, to lower the smoothness
requirement on the multiplier.
In the case G is a homogeneous Lie group and L1, . . . ,Ln are homogeneous
operators, a multiplier theorem of Mihlin-H\"ormander type is proved, extending
the result for a single operator of [Chr91] and [MM90]. Further, a product theory
is developed, by considering several homogeneous groups Gj , each of which with
its own system of operators; a non-conventional use of transference techniques
then yields a multiplier theorem of Marcinkiewicz type, not only on the direct
product of the Gj , but also on other (possibly non-homogeneous) groups, containing
homomorphic images of the Gj . Consequently, for certain non-nilpotent
groups of polynomial growth and for some distinguished sublaplacians, we are
able to improve the general result of [Ale94].

On dit qu'une variété est feuilletée lorsqu'il existe une partition de celle-ci en sous-variétés immergées. La théorie des feuilletages a des applications très profondes dans divers champs des Mathématiques et de la Physique, et il semble d'autant plus intéressant de pouvoir analyser le feuilletage à partir de ce qui semble être une donnée plus fondamentale : sa distribution de champs de vecteurs associée. C'est ainsi que nous avons observé que si le feuilletage est résolu par un fibré gradué, on peut relever le crochet de Lie des champs de vecteurs en une structure de Lie infini-algébroide sur ce fibré. D'autre part, cette structure est universelle dans le sens où toute autre résolution du feuilletage sera isomorphe à celle-ci dans un sens L_infini, mais seulement à homotopie près. Lorsqu'on se limite à l'étude au dessus d'un point, on observe que la cohomologie associée à la résolution devient potentiellement non triviale. La structure de Lie infini-algébroide universelle se réduit alors à une algèbre de Lie graduée sur cette cohomologie. Cette structure algébrique peut être transportée (non canoniquement) tout le long de la feuille, transformant la cohomologie au dessus d'une feuille en algébroide de Lie gradué. Cela nous permet de retrouver des résultats déjà connus par ailleurs et de déduire des avancées prometteuses<br>A smooth manifold is said to be foliated when it is partitioned into immersed submanifolds. Foliation Theory has profound applications in various fields of Mathematics and Physics, and it seems much more interesting to analyze the foliation from what seems to be a more fundamental point of view: its associated distribution of vector fields. Thus we have noticed that if the foliation is resolved by a graded fiber bundle, one can lift the Lie bracket of vector fields into a Lie infinity-algebroid structure on this fiber bundle. Moreover, this structure is universal in the sense that any other resolution of the foliation is isomorphic to it in the L_infinity setup, but only up to homotopy. When one restricts the analysis over a point, we observe that the cohomology associated to the resolution may become non trivial. The universal Lie infinity-algebroid structure hence reduces to a graded Lie algebra structure on this cohomology. This algebraic structure can be carried (non canonically) along the leaf, providing the cohomology over a leaf with a graded Lie algebroid structure. This enables us to retrieve former well-known results, as well as promising advances

L-algebras are intended as algebraic models for homotopy types. L-algebras were introduced by Alain Prouté in several talks since the eighties. The principal objective of this thesis is the description of an E-infinity-coalgebra structure on the main element of an L-algebra. This can be seen as a generalization of the E-infinity-coalgebra structure on the chain complex associated to a simplicial set given by Smith in Iterating the cobar construction, 1994. We construct an E-inifity-operad, denoted K, used to construct the E-inifity-coalgebra on the main element of a L-algebra. This E-inifity-coalgebra structure shows that the canonical L-algebra associated to a simplicial set contains at least as much homotopy information as the E-inifity-coalgebras usually associated to simplicial sets

To be able to construct Lie groups and Lie algebras we need define basic terms such as topological manifold, tensor algebra and differential geometry. First part of my thesis is aimed on this topic. In second part I am dealing with construction of Lie groups and algebras. Furthermore, I am showing different properties of given structures. Next I am trying to show, that there exists some connection among Lie groups and Lie algebras. In last part of this thesis is used just for showing how this apparat can be used on physical problems. Best known usage is to find physical symmetries to establish conservation laws, all thanks to famous Noether theorem.

Full textAbstract:
The computation of Schrödinger equations in the semiclassical regime presents several enduring challenges due to the presence of the small semiclassical parameter. Standard approaches for solving these equations commence with spatial discretisation followed by exponentiation of the discretised Hamiltonian via exponential splittings. In this thesis we follow an alternative strategy${-}$we develop a new technique, called the symmetric Zassenhaus splitting procedure, which involves directly splitting the exponential of the undiscretised Hamiltonian. This technique allows us to design methods that are highly efficient in the semiclassical regime. Our analysis takes place in the Lie algebra generated by multiplicative operators and polynomials of the differential operator. This Lie algebra is completely characterised by Jordan polynomials in the differential operator, which constitute naturally symmetrised differential operators. Combined with the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded structure of this Lie algebra, the symmetry results in skew-Hermiticity of the exponents for Zassenhaus-style splittings, resulting in unitary evolution and numerical stability. The properties of commutator simplification and height reduction in these Lie algebras result in a highly effective form of $\textit{asymptotic splitting:} $exponential splittings where consecutive terms are scaled by increasing powers of the small semiclassical parameter. This leads to high accuracy methods whose costs grow quadratically with higher orders of accuracy. Time-dependent potentials are tackled by developing commutator-free Magnus expansions in our Lie algebra, which are subsequently split using the Zassenhaus algorithm. We present two approaches for developing arbitrarily high-order Magnus--Zassenhaus schemes${-}$one where the integrals are discretised using Gauss--Legendre quadrature at the outset and another where integrals are preserved throughout. These schemes feature high accuracy, allow large time steps, and the quadratic growth of their costs is found to be superior to traditional approaches such as Magnus--Lanczos methods and Yoshida splittings based on traditional Magnus expansions that feature nested commutators of matrices. An analysis of these operatorial splittings and expansions is carried out by characterising the highly oscillatory behaviour of the solution.

Doutoramento em Matemática<br>Nesta tese de Doutoramento desenvolve-se principalmente uma abordagem
algébrica à teoria de sistemas de controlo não lineares. No entanto, outros
tópicos são também estudados. Os tópicos tratados são os seguidamente
enunciados: fórmulas para sistemas de controlo sobre álgebras de Lie livres,
estabilidade de um sistema de corpos rolantes, algoritmos para aritmética
digital, e equações integrais de Fredholm não lineares.
No primeiro e principal tópico estudam-se representações para as soluções
de sistemas de controlo lineares no controlo. As suas trajetórias são representadas
pelas chamadas séries de Chen. Estuda-se a representação formal
destas séries através da introdução de várias álgebras não associativas e
técnicas específicas de álgebras de Lie livres. Sistemas de coordenadas para
estes sistemas são estudados, nomeadamente, coordenadas de primeiro tipo
e de segundo tipo. Apresenta-se uma demonstração alternativa para as
coordenadas de segundo tipo e obtêm-se expressões explícitas para as coordenadas
de primeiro tipo. Estas últimas estão intimamente ligadas ao
logaritmo da série de Chen que, por sua vez, tem fortes relações com
uma fórmula designada na literatura por “continuous Baker-Campbell-
Hausdorff formula”. São ainda apresentadas aplicações à teoria de funções
simétricas não comutativas. É, por fim, caracterizado o mapa de monodromia
de um campo de vectores não linear e periódico no tempo em relação
a uma truncatura do logaritmo de Chen.
No segundo tópico é estudada a estabilizabilidade de um sistema de quaisquer
dois corpos que rolem um sobre o outro sem deslizar ou torcer.
Constroem-se controlos fechados e dependentes do tempo que tornam a
origem do sistema de dois corpos num sistema localmente assimptoticamente
estável. Vários exemplos e algumas implementações em Maple°c
são discutidos.
No terceiro tópico, em apêndice, constroem-se algoritmos para calcular o
valor de várias funções fundamentais na aritmética digital, sendo possível
a sua implementação em microprocessadores. São também obtidos os seus
domínios de convergência.
No último tópico, também em apêndice, demonstra-se a existência e unicidade
de solução para uma classe de equações integrais não lineares com
atraso. O atraso tem um carácter funcional, mostrando-se ainda a diferenciabilidade
no sentido de Fréchet da solução em relação à função de atraso.<br>In this PhD thesis several subjects are studied regarding the following topics:
formulas for nonlinear control systems on free Lie algebras, stabilizability
of nonlinear control systems, digital arithmetic algorithms, and nonlinear
Fredholm integral equations with delay.
The first and principal topic is mainly related with a problem known as the
continuous Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff exponents. We propose a calculus
to deal with formal nonautonomous ordinary differential equations evolving
on the algebra of formal series defined on an alphabet. We introduce and
connect several (non)associative algebras as Lie, shuffle, zinbiel, pre-zinbiel,
chronological (pre-Lie), pre-chronological, dendriform, D-I, and I-D. Most of
those notions were also introduced into the universal enveloping algebra of
a free Lie algebra. We study Chen series and iterated integrals by relating
them with nonlinear control systems linear in control. At the heart of
all the theory of Chen series resides a zinbiel and shuffle homomorphism
that allows us to construct a purely formal representation of Chen series
on algebras of words. It is also given a pre-zinbiel representation of the
chronological exponential, introduced by A.Agrachev and R.Gamkrelidze
on the context of a tool to deal with nonlinear nonautonomous ordinary
differential equations over a manifold, the so-called chronological calculus.
An extensive description of that calculus is made, collecting some
fragmented results on several publications. It is a fundamental tool of
study along the thesis. We also present an alternative demonstration
of the result of H.Sussmann about coordinates of second kind using
the mentioned tools. This simple and comprehensive proof shows that
coordinates of second kind are exactly the image of elements of the dual
basis of a Hall basis, under the above discussed homomorphism. We obtain
explicit expressions for the logarithm of Chen series and the respective
coordinates of first kind, by defining several operations on a forest of
leaf-labelled trees. It is the same as saying that we have an explicit
formula for the functional coefficients of the Lie brackets on a continuous
Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff-Dynkin formula when a Hall basis is used. We
apply those formulas to relate some noncommutative symmetric functions,
and we also connect the monodromy map of a time-periodic nonlinear
vector field with a truncation of the Chen logarithm.
On the second topic, we study any system of two bodies rolling one
over the other without twisting or slipping. By using the Chen logarithm
expressions, the monodromy map of a flow and Lyapunov functions, we
construct time-variant controls that turn the origin of a control system
linear in control into a locally asymptotically stable equilibrium point.
Stabilizers for control systems whose vector fields generate a nilpotent Lie
algebra with degree of nilpotency · 3 are also given. Some examples are
presented and Maple°c were implemented.
The third topic, on appendix, concerns the construction of efficient
algorithms for Digital Arithmetic, potentially for the implementation in
microprocessors. The algorithms are intended for the computation of
several functions as the division, square root, sines, cosines, exponential,
logarithm, etc. By using redundant number representations and methods
of Lyapunov stability for discrete dynamical systems, we obtain several
algorithms (that can be glued together into an algorithm for parallel execution)
having the same core and selection scheme in each iteration. We also prove
their domains of convergence and discuss possible extensions.
The last topic, also on appendix, studies the set of solutions of a class
of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations with general delay. The delay
is of functional character modelled by a continuous lag function. We
ensure existence and uniqueness of a continuous (positive) solution of such
equation. Moreover, under additional conditions, it is obtained the Fr´echet
differentiability of the solution with respect to the lag function.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, we investigate deformation theory and moduli theory of coisotropic submanifolds in Jacobi manifolds. Originally introduced by Kirillov as local Lie algebras with one dimensional fibers, Jacobi manifolds encompass, unifying and generalizing, locally conformal symplectic manifolds, locally conformal Poisson manifolds, and non-necessarily coorientable contact manifolds.
We attach an L-infinity-algebra to any coisotropic submanifold in a Jacobi manifold. Our construction generalizes and unifies analogous constructions by Oh-Park (symplectic case), Cattaneo-Felder (Poisson case), and Le-Oh (locally conformal symplectic case). As a completely new case we also associate an L-infinity-algebra with any coisotropic submanifold in a contact manifold. The L-infinity-algebra of a coisotropic submanifold S controls the formal coisotropic deformation problem of S, even under Hamiltonian equivalence, and provides criteria both for the obstructedness and for the unobstructedness at the formal level. Additionally we prove that if a certain condition ("fiberwise entireness") is satisfied then the L-infinity-algebra controls the non-formal coisotropic deformation problem, even under Hamiltonian equivalence.
We associate a BFV-complex with any coisotropic submanifold in a Jacobi manifold. Our construction extends an analogous construction by Schatz in the Poisson setting, and in particular it also applies in the locally conformal symplectic/Poisson setting and the contact setting. Unlike the L-infinity-algebra, we prove that, with no need of any restrictive hypothesis, the BFV-complex of a coisotropic submanifold S controls the non-formal coisotropic deformation problem of S, even under both Hamiltonian equivalence and Jacobi equivalence.
Notwithstanding the differences there is a close relation between the approaches to the coisotropic deformation problem via L-infinity-algebra and via BFV-complex. Indeed both the L-infinity-algebra and the BFV-complex of a coisotropic submanifold S provide a cohomological reduction of S. Moreover they are L-infinity quasi-isomorphic and so they encode equally well the moduli space of formal coisotropic deformations of S under Hamiltonian equivalence.
In addition we exhibit two examples of coisotropic submanifolds in the contact setting whose coisotropic deformation problem is obstructed at the formal level. Further we provide a conceptual explanation of this phenomenon both in terms of the L-infinity-algebra and in terms of the BFV-complex.

The purpose of the study is to gain a better understanding of complicated nonlinear dirrerential equations that describe nature and to construct solutions. The differential equations under consideration were derived [rom physics and engineering. They are the following: the Kortcweg-dc Vries equation, Burgers' cquation , the sine-Gordon equation, nonlinear diffusion equations, the Klein Gordon equation, the Schrodinger equation, nonlinear Dirac equations, Yang-Mills equations, the Lorentz model, the Lotka-Volterra model, damped unharrnonic oscillators, and others. The newly found results and insights are discussed in chapters 8 to 17. Details on the COli tents of each chapter and rcfernces to some of my articles arc given in chapter 1.

In our thesis we study the algebras of differential operators in algebraic and geometric terms. We consider two
problems in which the algebras of differential operators naturally arise. The first one deals with the algebraic
structure of differential and pseudodifferential operators. We define the Krichever-Novikov type Lie algebras of
differential operators and pseudodifferential symbols on Riemann surfaces, along with their outer derivations and
central extensions. We show that the corresponding algebras of meromorphic differential operators and
pseudodifferential symbols have many invariant traces and central extensions, given by the logarithms of meromorphic
vector fields. We describe which of these extensions survive after passing to the algebras of operators and symbols
holomorphic away from several fixed points. We also describe the associated Manin triples, emphasizing the
similarities and differences with the case of smooth symbols on the circle.
The second problem is related to the geometry of differential operators and its connection with representations of
semi-simple Lie algebras. We show that the semiregular module, naturally associated with a graded semi-simple
complex Lie algebra, can be realized in geometric terms, using the Brion's construction of degeneration of
the diagonal in the square of the flag variety. Namely, we consider the Beilinson-Bernstein localization
of the semiregular module and show that it is isomorphic to the D-module obtained by applying the
Emerton-Nadler-Vilonen geometric Jacquet functor to the D-module of distributions on the square of the flag variety
with support on the diagonal.

Then we study the properties of particular ordinary differential equations that arise in astrophysics and cosmology using the Lie analysis of differential equations. Firstly, a system of differential equations arising in the model of a relativistic star is generated and a governing nonlinear equation is obtained for a linear equation of state. A comprehensive symmetry analysis is performed on this equation. Secondly, a second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation arising in the model of the early universe is described and a detailed symmetry analysis of this equation is undertaken.

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2014.<br>This is the study of Lie algebraic properties of first integrals of scalar second-, third and
higher-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The Lie algebraic classification of such differential equations is now well-known from the works of Lie [10] as
well as recently Mahomed and Leach [19]. However, the algebraic properties of first
integrals are not known except in the maximal cases for the basic first integrals and
some of their quotients. Here our intention is to investigate the complete problem for
scalar second-order and maximal symmetry classes of higher-order ODEs using Lie
algebras and Lie symmetry methods. We invoke the realizations of low-dimensional
Lie algebras.
Symmetries of the fundamental first integrals for scalar second-order ODEs which are
linear or linearizable by point transformations have already been obtained. Firstly we
show how one can determine the relationship between the point symmetries and the
first integrals of linear or linearizable scalar ODEs of order two. Secondly, a complete
classi cation of point symmetries of first integrals of such linear ODEs is studied. As a
consequence, we provide a counting theorem for the point symmetries of first integrals
of scalar linearizable second-order ODEs. We show that there exists the 0, 1, 2 or 3
point symmetry cases. It is proved that the maximal algebra case is unique.
By use of Lie symmetry group methods we further analyze the relationship between the
first integrals of the simplest linear third-order ODEs and their point symmetries. It
is well-known that there are three classes of linear third-order ODEs for maximal and
submaximal cases of point symmetries which are 4, 5 and 7. The simplest scalar linear
third-order equation has seven point symmetries. We obtain the classifying relation
between the symmetry and the first integral for the simplest equation. It is shown
that the maximal Lie algebra of a first integral for the simplest equation y000 = 0 is
unique and four-dimensional. Moreover, we show that the Lie algebra of the simplest
linear third-order equation is generated by the symmetries of the two basic integrals.
We also obtain counting theorems of the symmetry properties of the first integrals for
such linear third-order ODEs of maximal type. Furthermore, we provide insights into
the manner in which one can generate the full Lie algebra of higher-order ODEs of
maximal symmetry from two of their basic integrals.
The relationship between rst integrals of sub-maximal linearizable third-order ODEs
and their symmetries are investigated as well. All scalar linearizable third-order equations
can be reduced to three classes by point transformations. We obtain the
classifying relations between the symmetries and the first integral for sub-maximal
cases of linear third-order ODEs. It is known, from the above, that the maximum Lie
algebra of the first integral is achieved for the simplest equation. We show that for
the other two classes they are not unique. We also obtain counting theorems of the
symmetry properties of the rst integrals for these classes of linear third-order ODEs.
For the 5 symmetry class of linear third-order ODEs, the first integrals can have 0,
1, 2 and 3 symmetries and for the 4 symmetry class of linear third-order ODEs they
are 0, 1 and 2 symmetries respectively. In the case of sub-maximal linear higher-order
ODEs, we show that their full Lie algebras can be generated by the subalgebras of
certain basic integrals. For the n+2 symmetry class, the symmetries of the rst integral
I2 and a two-dimensional subalgebra of I1 generate the symmetry algebra and for
the n + 1 symmetry class, the full algebra is generated by the symmetries of I1 and a
two-dimensional subalgebra of the quotient I3=I2.
Finally, we completely classify the first integrals of scalar nonlinear second-order ODEs
in terms of their Lie point symmetries. This is performed by first obtaining the classifying
relations between point symmetries and first integrals of scalar nonlinear second order
equations which admit 1, 2 and 3 point symmetries. We show that the maximum
number of symmetries admitted by any first integral of a scalar second-order nonlinear
(which is not linearizable by point transformation) ODE is one which in turn provides
reduction to quadratures of the underlying dynamical equation. We provide physical
examples of the generalized Emden-Fowler, Lane-Emden and modi ed Emden equations.

In Chapter One the theoretical basis for infinitesimal transformations is
presented with particular emphasis on the central theme of this thesis which
is the invariance of ordinary differential equations, and their first integrals,
under infinitesimal transformations. The differential operators associated with
these infinitesimal transformations constitute an algebra under the operation
of taking the Lie Bracket. Some of the major results of Lie's work are recalled.
The way to use the generators of symmetries to reduce the order of a differential
equation and/or to find its first integrals is explained. The chapter concludes
with a summary of the state of the art in the mid-seventies just before the
work described here was initiated.
Chapter Two describes the growing awareness of the algebraic properties of
the paradigms of differential equations. This essentially ad hoc period demonstrated
that there was value in studying the Lie method of extended groups
for finding first integrals and so solutions of equations and systems of equations.
This value was emphasised by the application of the method to a class of
nonautonomous anharmonic equations which did not belong to the then pantheon
of paradigms. The generalised Emden-Fowler equation provided a route
to major development in the area of the theory of the conditions for the linearisation
of second order equations. This was in addition to its own interest.
The stage was now set to establish broad theoretical results and retreat from
the particularism of the seventies.
Chapters Three and Four deal with the linearisation theorems for second
order equations and the classification of intrinsically nonlinear equations according
to their algebras. The rather meagre results for systems of second
order equations are recorded.
In the fifth chapter the investigation is extended to higher order equations
for which there are some major departures away from the pattern established
at the second order level and reinforced by the central role played by these
equations in a world still dominated by Newton. The classification of third
order equations by their algebras is presented, but it must be admitted that
the story of higher order equations is still very much incomplete.
In the sixth chapter the relationships between first integrals and their algebras
is explored for both first order integrals and those of higher orders. Again
the peculiar position of second order equations is revealed.
In the seventh chapter the generalised Emden-Fowler equation is given a
more modern and complete treatment.
The final chapter looks at one of the fundamental algebras associated with
ordinary differential equations, the three element 8£(2, R), which is found in all
higher order equations of maximal symmetry, is a fundamental feature of the
Pinney equation which has played so prominent a role in the study of nonautonomous
Hamiltonian systems in Physics and is the signature of Ermakov
systems and their generalisations.<br>Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, 1995.

The Lie theory of extended groups is a practical tool in the analysis of differential equations, particularly in the construction of solutions. A formalism of the Lie theory is given and contrasted with Noether's theorem which plays a prominent role in the analysis of differential equations derivable from a Lagrangian. The relationship between the Lie and Noether approach to differential equations is investigated. The standard separation of Lie point symmetries into Noetherian and nonNoetherian symmetries is shown to be irrelevant within the context of nonlocality.

Johannesburg, 1995.<br>In this work we give a brief overview of the existing group classification methods
of partial differential equations by means of examples. On top of these methods
we introduce another new method which classify according to low-dimensional Lie
elgebras, One can ask: What is the aim of introducing a new method whilst there
are existing methods? This question is answered in the following paragraph.
Firstly we classify our system of non-linear partial differential equations using the
preliminary group classification method (one of the existing methods). The results
are not different from what; Euler, Steeb and Mulsor have obtained in 1991 and 1992.
That is, this method does not yield new information.
This new method which classifies according to low-dimensional Lie algebras is used
to classify a general system of equations from plasma physics. Finally, using this
method we completely classify our system for four-dimensionnl algebras. For a partial
differential equation to be completely classified using this method, it must admit a
low-dimensional Lie algebra.

The physical world is, for the most part, modelled using second order ordinary differential equations. The time-dependent simple harmonic oscillator and the Ermakov-Pinney equation (which together form an Ermakov system) are two examples that jointly and separately describe many physical situations. We study Ermakov systems from the point of view of the algebraic properties
of differential equations. The idea of generalised Ermakov systems is introduced and their relationship to the Lie algebra sl(2, R) is explained. We show that the 'compact' form of generalized Ermakov systems has an infinite dimensional Lie algebra. Such algebras are usually associated only with first order equations in the context of ordinary differential equations. Apart from the Ermakov invariant which shares the infinite-dimensional algebra of the 'compact' equation, the other three integrals force the dimension of the algebra to be reduced to the three of sl(2, R). Subsequently we establish a new class of Ermakov systems by considering equations invariant under sl(2, R) (in two dimensions) and sl(2, R) EB so(3) (in three dimensions). The former class contains the generalized Ermakov system as a special case in which the force is velocity-independent. The latter case is a generalization of the classical equation of motion of the magnetic monopole
which is well known to possess the conserved Poincare vector. We demonstrate that in fact there are three such vectors for all equations of this type.<br>Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, 1993.

The study of second order ordinary differential equations is vital given their proliferation in
mechanics. The group theoretic approach devised by Lie is one of the most successful techniques
available for solving these equations. However, many second order equations cannot be reduced
to quadratures due to the lack of a sufficient number of point symmetries. We observe that
increasing the order will result in a third order differential equation which, when reduced via an
alternate symmetry, may result in a solvable second order equation. Thus the original second
order equation can be solved.
In this dissertation we will attempt to classify second order differential equations that can
be solved in this manner. We also provide the nonlocal transformations between the original
second order equations and the new solvable second order equations.
Our starting point is third order differential equations. Here we concentrate on those invariant
