A new type of conserved quantity of Mei symmetry for Lagrange system

This paper studies a new type of conserved quantity which is directly induced by Mei symmetry of the Lagrange system. Firstly, the definition and criterion of Mei symmetry for the Lagrange system are given. Secondly, a coordination function is introduced, and the conditions of existence of the new conserved quantity as well as its forms are proposed. Lastly, an illustrated example is given. The result indicates that the coordination function can be selected properly according to the demand for finding the gauge function, and thereby the gauge function can be found more easily. Furthermore, since the choice of the coordination function has multiformity, many more conserved quantities of Mei symmetry for the Lagrange system can be obtained.     

The construction of conserved quantities for linearly coupled oscillators and study of symmetries about the conserved quantities

In this paper, the conserved quantities are constructed using two methods. The first method is by making an ansatz of the conserved quantity and then using the definition of Poisson bracket to obtain the coefficients in the ansatz. The main procedure for the second method is given as follows. Firstly, the coupled terms in Lagrangian are eliminated by changing the coordinate scales and rotating the coordinate axes, secondly, the conserved quantities are obtain in new coordinate directly, and at last, the conserved quantities are expressed in the original coordinates by using the inverse transform of the coordinates. The Noether symmetry and Lie symmetry of the infinitesimal transformations about the conserved quantities are also studied in this paper.
