Nonlocal symmetries, telescopic vector fields and \(\lambda \)-symmetries of ordinary differential equations




Abstract: This paper studies relationships between the order reductions of ordinary differential equations derived by the existence of lambda-symmetries, telescopic vector fields and some nonlocal symmetries obtained by embedding the equation in an auxiliary system. The results let us connect such nonlocal symmetries with approaches that had been previously introduced: the exponential vector fields and the lambda-coverings method. The lambda-symmetry approach let us characterize the nonlocal symmetries that are useful to reduce the order and provides an alternative method of computation that involves less unknowns. The notion of equivalent lambda-symmetries is used to decide whether or not reductions associated to two nonlocal symmetries are strictly different.
