Form invariance and Mei conserved quantity for generalized Hamilton systems after adding additional terms

Abstract

Form invariance and Mei conserved quantity for generalized Hamilton systems after adding additional terms are studied. By introducing infinitesimal transformation group and its infinitesimal transformation vector of generators, the definition and determining equations of the Mei symmetry for generalized Hamilton systems after adding additional terms are provided. By means of the structure equation satisfied by the gauge function, the Mei conserved quantity corresponding to the form invariance for the system is derived. Finally an illustrative example is given to verify the results.
