Abstract: The first-order differential L'evy-Leblond equations (LLE's) are the non-relativistic analogs of the Dirac equation, being square roots of (1+d)-dimensional Schr"odinger or heat equations. Just like the Dirac equation, the LLE's possess a natural supersymmetry. In previous works it was shown that non supersymmetric PDE's (notably, the Schr"odinger equations for free particles or in the presence of a harmonic potential), admit a natural mathbbZ2-graded Lie symmetry. In this paper we show that, for a certain class of supersymmetric PDE's, a natural mathbbZ2imesmathbbZ2-graded Lie symmetry appears. In particular, we exhaustively investigate the symmetries of the (1+1)-dimensional L'evy-Leblond Equations, both in the free case and for the harmonic potential. In the free case a mathbbZ2imesmathbbZ2-graded Lie superalgebra, realized by first and second-order differential symmetry operators, is found. In the presence of a non-vanishing quadratic potential, the Schr"odinger invariance is maintained, while the mathbbZ2- and mathbbZ2imesmathbbZ2- graded extensions are no longer allowed. The construction of the mathbbZ2imesmathbbZ2-graded Lie symmetry of the (1+2)-dimensional free heat LLE introduces a new feature, explaining the existence of first-order differential symmetry operators not entering the super Schr"odinger algebra.
