Abstract: By using Lie symmetry methods, we identify a class of second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations invariant under at least one dimensional subgroup of the symmetry group of the Ermakov-Pinney equation. In this context, nonlinear superposition rule for second order Kummer-Schwarz equation is rediscovered. Invariance under one-dimensional symmetry group is also used to obtain first integrals (Ermakov-Lewis invariants). Our motivation is a type of equations with singular term that arises in many applications, in particular in the study of general NLS (nonlinear Schr"odinger) equations.

Review text

A primary motivation of this work is to analyze the Lie point symmetries of the second order differential equation with cubic singularity \[ \ddot{x}(t)+p(t)x(t)=qx(t)^{-3}+g(t)x(t)^m, \] where \(q, m\) are constants and \(p(\cdot), g(\cdot)\) are arbitrary functions of \(t\). Such equation arises in several applications coming from classical and quantum mechanics and geometry. The first objective is to identify a class of equations above invariant under a \(1\)-dimensional subgroup of the symmetry group of the familiar Ermakov-Pinney equation. Under this condition, the given equation can be reduced to an equivalent autonomous equation by means of a canonical transformation. A second objective is to explore a generalization of the associated Ermakov-Lewis invariant.
