A generalized Mei conserved quantity and Mei symmetry of Birkhoff system

Abstract

This paper studies a new conserved quantity which can be called generalized Mei conserved quantity and directly deduced by Mei symmetry of Birkhoff system. The conditions under which the Mei symmetry can directly lead to generalized Mei conserved quantity and the form of generalized Mei conserved quantity are given. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
