Mei symmetry and conservation laws of discrete nonholonomic dynamical systems with regular and irregular lattices

摘要

In this paper,Noether symmetry and Mei symmetry of discrete nonholonomic dynamical systems with regular and the irregular lattices are investigated.Firstly,the equations of motion of discrete nonholonomic systems are introduced for regular and irregular lattices.Secondly,for cases of the two lattices,based on the invariance of the Hamiltomian functional under the infinitesimal transformation of time and generalized coordinates,we present the quasi-extremal equation,the discrete analogues of Noether identity,Noether theorems,and the Noether conservation laws of the systems.Thirdly,in cases of the two lattices,we study the Mei symmetry in which we give the discrete analogues of the criterion,the theorem,and the conservative laws of Mei symmetry for the systems.Finally,an example is discussed for the application of the results.
