摘要
In this paper,based on the symbolic computing system Maple,the direct method for Lie symmetry groupspresented by Sen-Yue Lou [J.Phys.A:Math.Gen.38 (2005) L129] is extended from the continuous differential equationsto the differential-difference equations.With the extended method,we study the well-known differential-difference KPequation,KZ equation and (2+1)-dimensional ANNV system,and both the Lie point symmetry groups and the non-Liesymmetry groups are obtained.
