Mei conserved quantity directly induced by Lie symmetry in a nonconservative Hamilton system

In this paper, we investigate whether the Lie symmetry can induce the Mei conserved quantity directly in a nonconservative Hamilton system and a theorem is presented. The condition under which the Lie symmetry of the system directly induces the Mei conserved quantity is given. Meanwhile, an example is discussed to illustrate the application of the results. The present results have shown that the Lie symmetry of a nonconservative Hamilton system can also induce the Mei conserved quantity directly.
