Abstract:
In this paper the conformal invariance by infinitesimal
transformations of first order Lagrange systems is discussed in
detail. The necessary and sufficient conditions of conformal
invariance and Lie symmetry simultaneously by the action of
infinitesimal transformations are given. Then it gets the Hojman
conserved quantities of conformal invariance by the infinitesimal
transformations. Finally an example is given to illustrate the
application of the results.
