Abstract

A class of autonomous, even-order ordinary differential equations is discussed from the point of view of Lie symmetries. It is shown that for a certain power non-linearity, the Noether symmetry group coincides with the Lie point symmetry group. First integrals are established and exact solutions are found. Furthermore, this paper complements, for the one-dimensional case, some results in the literature of Lie group analysis of poliharmonic equations and Noether symmetries obtained in the last 20 years. In particular, it is shown that the exceptional negative power discovered in Bokhari et al. (2010, Symmetries and integrability of a fourth-order Euler-Bernoulli beam equation. J. Math. Phys., 51, 053517) is a member of a one-parameter family of exceptional powers in which the Lie symmetry group coincides with the Noether symmetry group. (AU)
