Abstract
By using the methods of nonlinear functional analysis a single general operator symmetry condition is derived. It supplies a simple and systematic procedure for finding symmetry conditions in particular problems. From it the Lie algebra structure associated with symmetries is easily displayed and the classical Lie theory of symmetries of differential equations is obtained without needing the technique of the group extension.

A Simple model of the integrable Hamiltonian equation

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of analysis of the infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian equations which avoids the introduction of the Backlund transformation or the use of the Lax equation is suggested, based on the possibility of connecting in several ways the conservation laws of special Hamiltonian equation with their symmetries by using symplectic operators.

Equivalence transformations for nonlinear evolution equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the Hopf-Cole transformation for the Burgers equation and the Miura, Backlund, and Hirota transformations for the Korteweg-de-Vries equation are all deduced from a single general equivalence condition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an attempt at a formulation of geometric invariances which can be applied to the classical mechanics of point particles, to a relativistic mechanics of interacting point particles and to quantum theory.
