We confine ourselves, for simplicity, to first-order algebraic differential equations (ADE's), although analogous considerations may be made for higher-order ADE's:

P(x, y(x), y'(x)) = 0. (*)

A motion of (*) is a change of independent variable that takes solutions to solutions, that is, a suitable map <p of the underlying interval I into itself so that if y is a solution of (*) then y ° φ is a solution of (*), i.e.
