Differential equations, especially nonlinear, present the most effective way for describing complex physical processes. Methods for constructing exact solutions of differential equations play an important role in applied mathematics and mechanics. This book aims to provide scientists, engineers and students with an easy-to-follow, but comprehensive, description of the methods for constructing exact solutions of differential equations.

The book compiles papers presented at the International Conference 'Advances in Applications of Analytical Methods in Solving Differential Equations', held in honour of Academician Lev V. Ovsiannikov’s 105th birthday anniversary. This collection reflects his extensive contributions to the theory of differential equations, modelling, and the application of analytical methods. In addition to classical methods such as analytical integration of systems of equations and their applications in various fields of Science and Engineering, the book explores new areas of research. This includes the application of group analysis to novel mathematical models and nonlinear problems, particularly equations with nonlocal terms (symmetries of difference and differential equations, as well as fractional differential equations). One of the notable contributions in the book is the development of a Hamiltonian approach for delay differential equations, representing a novel area of research that has not been previously explored. The book is anticipated to appeal to a broad audience of experts in applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, and modelling, as well as to young scientists and graduate students interested in the analysis of nonlinear equations.

The present book is an introduction to a new eld in applied group analysis. The book deals with symmetries of integro-differential, stochastic and delay equations that form the basis of a large variety of mathematical models, used to describe va- ous phenomena in uid mechanics and plasma physics and other elds of nonlinear science. Because of its baf ing complexity the mathematical study of nonlocal equations is far from completion, although the equations have been intensively studied in - merous applications over more than fty last years using both numerical and anal- ical methods. The principal aim of analytical approaches is to obtain exact solutions, admitted symmetries, conservation laws and other mathematical properties, which allow one to make sound decisions in more detailed applied investigations. Classical Lie group theory provides a universal tool for calculating symmetry groups for systems of differential equations. Consequently, group theoretical me- ods appear ef cient in analyzing different phenomena using mathematical models that employ differential equations.However Lie's methods cannot be directly - plied to integro-differential equations, in nite systems of differential equations, - lay equations, etc. Hence it is natural to extend the ideas of modern group analysis to these mathematical objects that up to recently were not in mainstream of classical group theoretical approaches.
