Symmetries of differential-difference dynamical systems in a two-dimensional lattice. (English) Zbl 1184.37044

From the abstract:
“The classification of differential-difference equations of the form \(\ddot{u}_{nm}=F_{nm} (t, \{u_{pq}\}|_{(p,q)\in \Gamma}) \) is considered according to their Lie point symmetry groups. The set \(\Gamma\) represents the point \((n,m)\) and its six nearest neighbors in a two-dimensional triangular lattice. It is shown that the symmetry group can be at most 12 dimensional for Abelian symmetry algebras and at most 13 dimensional for nonsolvable symmetry algebras.”
The aim is thus to classify the interaction functions \(F_{nm}\), which are assumed nonlinear and isotropic, according to the Lie point symmetries.
