Variational and divergence symmetries are studied in this paper for linear equations of maximal symmetry in canonical form, and the associated first integrals are given in explicit form. All the main results obtained are formulated as theorems or conjectures for equations of a general order. Some of these results apply to linear equations of a general form and of arbitrary orders or having a symmetry algebra of arbitrary dimension.
Variational and divergence symmetries are studied in this paper for the whole class of linear and nonlinear equations of maximal symmetry, and the associated first integrals are given in explicit form. All the main results obtained are formulated as theorems or conjectures for equations of a general order. Adiscussion of the existence of variational symmetries with respect to a different Lagrangian, which turns out to be the most common and most readily available one, is also carried out. This leads to significantly different results when compared with the former case of the transformed Lagrangian. The latter analysis also gives rise to more general results concerning the variational symmetry algebra of any linear or nonlinear equations.
