Abstract

Recently, a physical basis for the Ermakov-Lewis invariant has been pointed out by Padmanabhan [Mod. Phys. Lett. A 33, 1830005 (2018)] and the most general form of the equations admitting such an invariant has been identified. Further generalizations to other equations beyond the Ermakov-Lewis system are derived by considering a more general form of a nonlocal transformation of the Sundman type and the corresponding invariants are derived. Reductions to the time-dependent isotonic oscillator are also obtained.
