Symmetries and conserved quantities of constrained mechanical systems

FX Mei, HB Wu, YF Zhang - International Journal of Dynamics and Control, 2014 - Springer
This is a concise review of the symmetries and conserved quantities of the constrained
mechanical systems. It deals with three kinds of symmetries: the Noether symmetry, the Lie …

Reduction of some classical non-holonomic systems with symmetry

J Koiller - Archive for rational mechanics and analysis, 1992 - Springer
Two types of nonholonomic systems with symmetry are treated:(i) the configuration space is
a total space of a G-principal bundle and the constraints are given by a connection;(ii) the …

Symmetries in classical field theory

M De Leon, D Martín de Diego… - International Journal of …, 2004 - World Scientific
