摘要: In this paper, it is shown that infinitesimal symmetry transformations of Birkhoffian systems have a characteristic functional structure, which is formulated by means of an auxiliary symmetry transformation function Z_μ(t,a) (introduced by the relation ξ_μ(t,a)=Z_μ(t,a)+\dot{a}^μξ_0 (t, a)) and is manifestly dependent upon the constants of motion of the system. At the end of the paper, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

Abstract: In this paper, it is shown that infinitesimal symmetry transformations of Birkhoffian systems have a characteristic functional structure, which is formulated by means of an auxiliary symmetry transformation function $Z_{\mu}(t,a)$ (introduced by the relation $\xi_{\mu}(t,a)=Z_{\mu}(t,a)+\dot{a}^{\mu}\xi_0 (t, a))$ and is manifestly dependent upon the constants of motion of the system. At the end of the paper, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
