It is generally known that Lie symmetries of differential equations can lead to a reduction of the governing equation(s), lead to exact solutions of these equations and, in the best case scenario, lead to a linearization of the original equation. In this paper, we consider a model from optimal investment theory where we show the governing equation possesses an extensive contact symmetry and, through this, we show it is linearizable. Several exact solutions are provided including a solution to a particular terminal value problem.

In the present article, a direct approach, namely exp(-?)-expansion method, is used for obtaining analytical solutions of the Pochhammer-Chree equations which have a many of models. These solutions are expressed in exponential functions expressed by hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions with some parameters. Recently, many methods were attempted to find exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, but it seems that the exp(-?)-expansion method appears to be efficient for finding exact solutions of many nonlinear differential equations.

We investigate the relation of the Lie point symmetries for the geodesic equations with the collineations of decomposable spacetimes. We review previous results in the literature on the Lie point symmetries of the geodesic equations and we follow a previous proposed geometric construction approach for the symmetries of differential equations. In this study, we prove that the projective collineations of a n+1-dimensional decomposable Riemannian space are the Lie point symmetries for geodesic equations of the n-dimensional subspace. We demonstrate the application of our results with the presentation of applications.

In this article, exact solutions of two (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear differential equations are derived by using the complex method. We change the (3+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation and generalized shallow water (gSW) equation into the complex differential equations by applying traveling wave transform and show that meromorphic solutions of these complex differential equations belong to class W, and then, we get exact solutions of these two (3+1)-dimensional equations.

Hidden symmetries entered the literature in the late Eighties when it was observed that there could be gain of Lie point symmetry in the reduction of order of an ordinary differential equation. Subsequently the reverse process was also observed. Such symmetries were termed “hidden”. In each case the source of the “new” symmetry was a contact symmetry or a nonlocal symmetry, that is, a symmetry with one or more of the coefficient functions containing an integral. Recent work by Abraham-Shrauner and Govinder (2006) on the reduction of partial differential equations demonstrates that it is possible for these “hidden” symmetries to have a point origin. In this paper we show that the same phenomenon can be observed in the reduction of ordinary differential equations and in a sense loosen the interpretation of hidden symmetries.

This paper treats the description of non-differentiable dynamics occurring in complex systems governed by local fractional partial differential equations. The exact solutions of diffusion and relaxation equations with Mittag-Leffler and exponential decay defined on Cantor sets are calculated. Comparative results with other versions of the local fractional derivatives are discussed.
