摘要: This paper studies a new type of conserved quantity which is directly induced by Mei symmetry of the Lagrange system. Firstly, the definition and criterion of Mei symmetry for the Lagrange system are given. Secondly, a coordination function is introduced, and the conditions of existence of the new conserved quantity as well as its forms are proposed. Lastly, an illustrated example is given. The result indicates that the coordination function can be selected properly according to the demand for finding the gauge function, and thereby the gauge function can be found more easily. Furthermore, since the choice of the coordination function has multiformity, many more conserved quantities of Mei symmetry for the Lagrange system can be obtained.
