Perturbation to the symmetries and adiabatic invariants of holonomic variable mass systems

The perturbation problem of symmetries for the holonomic variable mass systems under small excitation is discussed. The concept of high-order adiabatic invariant is presented, and the form of adiabatic invariants and the conditions for their existence are given. Then the corresponding inverse problem is studied. Finally an example is presented to illustrate these results.

Lie symmetries, perturbation to symmetries and adiabatic invariants of Poincaré equations

Based on the invariance of differential equations under infinitesimal transformations, Lie symmetry, laws of conservations, perturbation to the symmetries and adiabatic invariants of Poincare equations are presented. The concepts of Lie symmetry and higher order adiabatic invariants of Poincare equations are proposed. The conditions for existence of the exact invariants and adiabatic invariants are proved and their forms are also given. In addition, an example is presented to illustrate these results.

Closed orbits and limit cycles of second-order autonomous Birkhoff systems

In this paper, the existence of periodic orbits and the non-existence of limit cycles for the second-order autonomous Birkhoff system are studied. Further the existence of algebraic limit cycles for a generalized second-order autonomous Birkhoff system is studied.

The form invariance of constrained Birkhoffian system is a kind of invariance of the constrained Birkhoffian equations under infinitesimal transformations. The definition and criteria of the form invariance of constrained Birkhoffian system are given, and the relation of the form invariance and the Noether symmetry is studied.

Confermal invariance and Hojman conserved quantities of first order Lagrange systems

In this paper the conformal invariance by infinitesimal transformations of first order Lagrange systems is discussed in detail. The necessary and sufficient conditions of conformal invariance and Lie symmetry simultaneously by the action of infinitesimal transformations are given. Then it gets the Hojman conserved quantities of conformal invariance by the infinitesimal transformations. Finally an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

Perturbation to symmetries and adiabatic invariants of a type of nonholonomic singular system

Based on the theory of symmetries and conserved quantities, the perturbation to the symmetries and adiabatic invariants of a type of nonholonomic singular system are discussed. Firstly, the concept of higher order adiabatic invariants of the system is proposed. Secondly, the conditions for existence of the exact invariants and adiabatic invariants are proved and their forms are given. Thirdly, we study the inverse problems of the perturbation to symmetries of the system. An example is presented to illustrate these results.

Algebraic structure and Poisson integrals of a rotational relativistic Birkhoff system

We have studied the algebraic structure of the dynamical equations of a rotational relativistic Birkhoff system. It is proven that autonomous and semi-autonomous rotational relativistic Birkhoff equations possess consistent algebraic structure and Lie algebraic structure. In general, non-autonomous rotational relativistic Birkhoff equations possess no algebraic structure, but a type of special non-autonomous rotational relativistic Birkhoff equation possesses consistent algebraic structure and consistent Lie algebraic structure. Then, we obtain the Poisson integrals of the dynamical equations of the rotational relativistic Birkhoff system. Finally, we give an example to illustrate the application of the results.

Lie symmetrical perturbation and adiabatic invariants of generalized Hojman type for Lagrange systems

Based on the invariance of differential equations under infinitesimal transformations of group, Lie symmetries, exact invariants, perturbation to the symmetries and adiabatic invariants in form of non-Noether for a Lagrange system are presented. Firstly, the exact invariants of generalized Hojman type led directly by Lie symmetries for a Lagrange system without perturbations are given. Then, on the basis of the concepts of Lie symmetries and higher order adiabatic invariants of a mechanical system, the perturbation of Lie symmetries for the system with the action of small disturbance is investigated, the adiabatic invariants of generalized Hojman type for the system are directly obtained, the conditions for existence of the adiabatic invariants and their forms are proved. Finally an example is presented to illustrate these results.

Chaos in the second-order autonomous Birkhoff system with a heteroclinic circle

Chaotic behaviour in a second-order autonomous Birkhoff system with a heteroclinic circle under weakly periodic perturbation is studied using the Melnikov method. The equations of heteroclinic orbits and the criteria for chaos are given. One example is also presented to illustrate the application of the results.

Perturbation of symmetries of Birkhoff system and adiabatic invariants

The perturbation of symmetries of the free Birkhoff system under small excitation is discussed. The concept of high-order adiabatic invariant is presented, and the form of adiabatic invariants and the conditions for their existence are given. Then these results are generalized to the constrained Birkhoff system. One example is presented to illustrate these results.
