Abstract  In this paper we show that the first integrals of the discrete equation of motion for nonconservative and nonholonomic mechanical systems can be determined explicitly by investigating the invariance properties of the discrete Lagrangian. The result obtained is a discrete analogue of the generalized theorem of Noether in the Calculus of variations.
