Abstract Based on the invariance of Birkhoffian equations under the infinitesimal transformations of groups, the definition and the criterion of a form invariance for a Birkhoffian system are established. The condition under which the form invariance can lead to a non-Noether conserved quantity and the form of the conserved quantity are deduced by relying on the total time derivative along the trajectory of the equations, and two corollaries in special cases are presented. An example is finally given to illustrate the application of the results.

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.
