Abstract There are a lot of nonlinear problems in nature and engineering technology, which need to be described by nonlinear differential equations. Conservation laws play an important role in solving, reducing and qualitative analysis of differential equations. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the approximate conservation laws of nonlinear dynamical equations. In this paper, we apply the Noether symmetry method to the study of approximate conservation laws of weakly nonlinear dynamical equations. Firstly, the weakly nonlinear dynamical equations are transformed into the Lagrange equations of general holonomic system. Under the Lagrangian framework, the definition of Noether quasi-symmetry and the generalized Noether identities are established, and the approximate Noether conservation laws are obtained. Secondly, the weakly nonlinear dynamical equations are transformed into the Hamilton equations of general holonomic system in phase space. Under the Hamiltonian framework, the definition of Noether quasi-symmetry and the generalized Noether identities are established, and the approximate Noether conservation laws are obtained. Thirdly, the weakly nonlinear dynamical equations are transformed into the generalized Birkhoff's equations. Under the Birkhoffian framework, the definition of Noether quasi-symmetry and the generalized Noether identities are established, and the approximate Noether conservation laws are obtained. Finally, taking the famous Van der Pol equation, the Duffing equation and the weakly nonlinear coupled oscillators as examples, the computation of Noether quasi-symmetries and approximate conservation laws for weakly nonlinear systems under three different frameworks is analyzed. The results show that the same weakly nonlinear dynamical equation can be reduced to different general holonomic systems or different generalized Birkhoff systems. The result under the Hamiltonian framework is a special case of the Birkhoffian framework, while the result under the Lagrangian framework is equivalent to that under the Hamiltonian framework. Using Noether symmetry method to find approximate conservation laws of weakly nonlinear dynamical equations is not only convenient and effective, but also has great flexibility.

引言
在自然界和工程技术领域存在大量的非线性问题,它们通常需要用非线性微分方程来描述. 守恒量或第一积分在微分方程求解、约化以及定性分析方面发挥重要作用[1-3]. 利用对称性寻找守恒量是一个有效方法,如 Lie 理论[4-7]、Noether 定理[8-13]和 Mei 对称性[14-17]. Lie 对称性是微分方程的不变性,因而在以微分方程表示的数学模型中 Lie 对称性方法得到普遍应用[18-22].Noether 对称性依赖于作用量泛函,由于非线性微分方程一般不具有 Lagrange 结构,因此通过 Noether 对称性寻找微分方程的守恒量遇到了很大的困难.1998 年,Govinder 及其合作者基于 Lie 点变换提出了近似 Noether 对称性[23]. 近年来,近似对称性方法和近似守恒量研究取得不少成果[24-31].本文研究弱非线性动力学方程的 Noether 准对称性,将 Noether 对称性方法应用于具有小参数的非线性微分方程系统,分别基于 Lagrange 框架,Hamilton 框架和 Birkhoff 框架,证明了近似 Noether 守恒量定理.文末以著名的 van der Pol 方程,Duffing 方程,以及两自由度的弱非线性耦合振子为例,说明结果的应用.

( ZhangYi. Generalized variational principle of Herglotz type for nonconservative system in phase space and Noether's theorem Chinese Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2016,48(6):1382-1389 (in Chinese)) DOIURL Compared with the classical variational principle, the generalized variational principle of Herglotz based upon the action defined by differential equations gives a variational description of nonconservative dynamical system. The principle can describe all dynamical processes and nonconservative or dissipative systems. In the present study, the principle is extended to phase space, and the generalized variational principle of Herglotz type for non-conservative mechanical system in phase space is given and Noether's theorem and its inverse of the system are studied. Firstly, the generalized variational principle of Herglotz type in phase space is presented, a variational description of non-conservative system in phase space is given, and the corresponding Hamilton canonical equations are deduced. Secondly, based upon the relation between non-isochronal variation and isochronal variation, two basic formulae for the variation of Hamilton-Herglotz action in phase space are obtained. Thirdly, the definition and the criterion of Noether symmetry are given, and Noether's theorem and its inverse of nonconservative system for the variational problem of Herglotz type in phase space are proposed and proved, and the inner relation between the Noether symmetry and the conserved quantity for mechanical systems in phase space is revealed. The generalized variational principle of Herglotz type reduces to the classical variational principle under classical conditions, and Noether's theorem for the variational problem of Herglotz type reduces to the classical Noether's theorem of Hamilton system. In the end of the paper, we take the famous Emden equation and damping oscillator with second power as examples to illustrate the application of the results.
