A type of new conserved quantity deduced from Mei symmetry for Nielsen equations in a holonomic system with unilateral constraints

A type of new conserved quantity deduced from Mei symmetry for Nielsen equations in a holonomic system with unilateral constraints are investigated. Nielsen equations and differential equations of motion for the holonomic mechanical system with unilateral constraints are established. The definition and the criterion of Mei symmetry for Nielsen equations in the holonomic systems with unilateral constraints under the infinitesimal transformations of Lie group are also given. The expressions of the structural equation and a type of new conserved quantity of Mei symmetry for Nielsen equations in the holonomic system with unilateral constraints are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
