Abstract We study the order reduction method of the rotational relativistic Birkhoffian equations. For a rotational relativistic autonomous Birkhoffian system, if the conservative law of the Birkhoffian holds, the conservative quantity can be called the generalized energy integral. Through the generalized energy integral, the order of the system can be reduced. If the rotational relativistic Birkhoffian system has a generalized energy integral, then the Birkhoffian equations can be reduced by at least two degrees and the Birkhoffian form can be kept. An example is given to illustrate the application of the result.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
