This paper focuses on studying the symmetry of a practical wave equation on new lattices. It is a new step in that the new lattice equation is applied to reduce the discrete problem of motion of an elastic thin homogeneous bar. The equation of motion of the bar can be changed into a discrete wave equation. With the new lattice equation, the translational and scaling invariant, not only is the infinitesimal transformation given, but the symmetry and Lie algebras are also calculated. We also give a new form of invariant called the ratio invariant, which can reduce the process of the computing invariant with the characteristic equation.
We prove that any linear multi-step method G1^T of the form ∑k=0^mαkZk = T∑k=0^mβkJ^-1↓ΔH（Zk） with odd order u （u≥ 3） cannot be conjugate to a symplectic method G2^T of order w （w 〉 u） via any generalized linear multi-step method G3^T of the form ∑k=0^mαkZk = T∑k=0^mβkJ^-1↓ΔH（∑l=0^mγklZl）. We also give a necessary condition for this kind of generalized linear multi-step methods to be conjugate-symplectic. We also demonstrate that these results can be easily extended to the case when G3^T is a more general operator.
Based on the property of the discrete model entirely inheriting the symmetry of the continuous system,we present a method to construct exact solutions with continuous groups of transformations in discrete nonconservative systems.The Noether's identity of the discrete nonconservative system is obtained.The symmetric discrete Lagrangian and symmetric discrete nonconservative forces are defined for the system.Generalized quasi-extremal equations of discrete nonconservative systems are presented.Discrete conserved quantities are derived with symmetries associated with the continuous system.We have also found that the existence of the one-parameter symmetry group provides a reduction to a conserved quantity;but the existence of a two-parameter symmetry group makes it possible to obtain an exact solution for a discrete nonconservative system.Several examples are discussed to illustrate these results.

By performing a particular spatial discretization to the nonlinear Schrodinger equation(NLSE),we obtain a non-integrable Hamiltonian system which can be decomposed into three integrable parts(L-L-N splitting).We integrate each part by calculating its phase flow,and develop explicit symplectic integrators of different orders for the original Hamiltonian by composing the phase flows.A 2nd-order reversible constructed symplectic scheme is employed to simulate solitons motion and invariants behavior of the NLSE.The simulation results are compared with a 3rd-order non-symplectic implicit Runge-Kutta method,and the convergence of the formal energy of this symplectic integrator is also verified.The numerical results indicate that the explicit symplectic scheme obtained via L-L-N splitting is an effective numerical tool for solving the NLSE.
