We specialize Olver's and Rosenau's side condition heuristics for the determination of particular invariant sets of ordinary differential equations. It turns out that side conditions of so-called LaSalle type are of special interest. Moreover we put side condition properties of symmetric and partially symmetric equations in a wider context. In the final section we present an application to parameter-dependent systems, in particular to quasi-steady state for chemical reactions.
Keywords: Invariant set, Lie series, infinitesimal symmetry, quasi-steady state, QSS.
