Abstract

Differential-difference equations of the form u(n)=F-n(t,u(n-1),u(n),u(n+1)) are classified according to their continuous Lie point symmetry groups. It is shown that for nonlinear equations, the symmetry group can be at most seven-dimensional. The integrable Toda lattice is a member of this class and has a four-dimensional symmetry group.
