We present a method devised by Jacobi to derive Lagrangians of any second-order differential equation: it consists in finding a Jacobi Last Multiplier. We illustrate the easiness and the power of Jacobis method by applying it to several equations and also a class of equations studied by Musielak with his own method [Musielak ZE, Standard and non-standard Lagrangians for dissipative dynamical systems with variable coefficients. J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 41 (2008) 055205 (17pp)], and in particular to a Li`enard type nonlinear oscillator, and a second-order Riccati equation.

We show that $lambda$-symmetries can be algorithmically obtained by using the Jacobi last multiplier. Several examples are provided.
We show that a method presented in [S.L. Trubatch and A. Franco, Canonical Procedures for Population Dynamics, J. Theor. Biol. 48 (1974), 299-324] and later in [G.H. Paine, The development of Lagrangians for biological models, Bull. Math. Biol. 44 (1 982) 749-760] for finding Lagrangians of classic models in biology, is actually based on finding the Jacobi Last Multiplier of such models. Using known properties of Jacobi Last Multiplier we show how to obtain linear Lagrangians of those first-order systems and nonlinear Lagrangian of the corresponding single second-order equations that can be derived from them, even in the case where those authors failed such as the host-parasite model.
The focusing Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation is the simplest universal model describing the modulation instability (MI) of quasi monochromatic waves in weakly nonlinear media, and MI is considered the main physical mechanism for the appearence o f anomalous (rogue) waves (AWs) in nature. In this paper we study, using the finite gap method, the NLS Cauchy problem for generic periodic initial perturbations of the unstable background solution of NLS (what we call the Cauchy problem of the AWs), in the case of a finite number $N$ of unstable modes. We show how the finite gap method adapts to this specific Cauchy problem through three basic simplifications, allowing one to construct the solution, at the leading and relevant order, in terms of elementary functions of the initial data. More precisely, we show that, at the leading order, i) the initial data generate a partition of the time axis into a sequence of finite intervals, ii) in each interval $I$ of the partition, only a subset of ${cal N}(I)le N$ unstable modes are visible, and iii) the NLS solution is approximated, for $tin I$, by the ${cal N}(I)$-soliton solution of Akhmediev type, describing the nonlinear interaction of these visible unstable modes, whose parameters are expressed in terms of the initial data through elementary functions. This result explains the relevance of the $m$-soliton solutions of Akhmediev type, with $mle N$, in the generic periodic Cauchy problem of the AWs, in the case of a finite number $N$ of unstable modes.
Nonlocally related partial differential equation (PDE) systems are useful in the analysis of a given PDE system. It is known that each local conservation law of a given PDE system systematically yields a nonlocally related system. In this paper, a ne w and complementary method for constructing nonlocally related systems is introduced. In particular, it is shown that each point symmetry of a given PDE system systematically yields a nonlocally related system. Examples include applications to nonlinear diffusion equations, nonlinear wave equations and nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. As a consequence, previously unknown nonlocal symmetries are exhibited for two examples of nonlinear wave equations. Moreover, since the considered nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations have no local conservation laws, previous methods do not yield nonlocally related systems for such equations.
We are interested in the phenomenon of the essential spectrum instability for a class of unbounded (block) Jacobi matrices. We give a series of sufficient conditions for the matrices from certain classes to have a discrete spectrum on a half-axis of a real line. An extensive list of examples showing the sharpness of obtained results is provided.
