| Abstract: | Traditionally there do not exist integralinvariants for a nonconservative system in the phasespace of the system. For weak nonconservative systems,whose dynamical equations admit adjoint symmetries, there exist Poincare and Poincare-Cartanintegral invariants on an extended phase space, wherethe set of dynamical equations and their adjointequations are canonical. Moreover, integral invariantsalso exist for pseudoconservative dynamical systemsin the original phase space if the adjoint symmetriessatisfy certain condtions. |
