Hence, such manifolds are at most of embedding class two.

As consequence of this embedding theorem, we note that it resolves the open problem concerning the embedding class of the Gödel metric. We recapitulate the known Euclidean embedding results for FLRW geometries into pseudo-Euclidean spaces, and make some corrections to the possible signature.

To address this limitation, various generalisations have been developed, among which the notion of <span>(lambda)</span>-symmetries (also known as <span>(C^{infty })</span>-symmetries) has proven particularly effective. These <span>(lambda)</span>-symmetries extend the symmetry framework, enabling the reduction of order and the derivation of first integrals even in the absence of classical symmetries. In this paper, we investigate the Painlevé–Ince equation within the context of <span>(lambda)</span>-symmetries for the first time.
