Lie symmetries and conserved quantities of second-order nonholonomic mechanical system

The Lie symmetries and the conserved quantities of the second-order nonholonomic mechanical system are studied. Firstly, by using the invariance of the differential equation of motion under the infinitesimal transformations, the determining equations and the restriction equations of the Lie symmetries of the system are established, and the structure equation and the conservative quantities of the Lie symmetries are obtained. Secondly , the inverse problems of the Lie symmetries are studied . Finally , an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.
