Noether symmetry of Nielsen equation and Noether conserved quantity deduced directly from Noether symmetry for dynamical systems of the relative motion are studied. The definition and criteria of Noether symmetry of a Nielsen equation under the infinitesimal transformations of groups are given. Expression of Noether conserved quantity deduced directly from Noether symmetry of Nielsen equation for the system are obtained. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
Conformal invariance and a new type of conserved quantities of mechanical systems with variable mass in phase space are studied. Firstly, the definition and determining equation of conformal invariance are presented. The relationship between the conformal invariance and the Lie symmetry is given, and the necessary and sufficient condition that the conformal invarianee would be the Lie symmetry under the infinitesimal transformations is provided. Secondly, a new type of conserved quantities of the conformal invariance are obtained by using the Lie symmetry of the system. Lastly, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
