Perturbation to symmetries and Hojman adiabatic invariant for nonholonomic controllable mechanical systems with non-Chetaev type constraints

This paper studies the perturbation to symmetries and adiabatic invariant for nonholonomic controllable mechanical systems with non-Chetaev type constraints. It gives the exact invariants introduced by the Lie symmetries of the nonholonomic controllable mechanical system with non-Chetaev type constraints without perturbation. Based on the definition of high-order adiabatic invariants of mechanical system, the perturbation of Lie symmetries for nonholonomic controllable mechanical system with non-Chetaev type constraints with the action of small disturbances is investigated, and a new type of adiabatic invariant of system are obtained. In the end of this paper, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
