We exploit the relationships between the Lie symmetries of a mechanical system, the Jacobi Last Multiplier and the Lagrangian of the system to construct alternative Lagrangians and first integrals in the case that there is a generous supply of symmetry. A Liénard-type nonlinear oscillator is used as an example. We also exemplify the sometimes impossible connection between the general solution of a dynamical system and its first integrals.

Abstract
We exploit the relationships between the Lie symmetries of a mechanical system, the Jacobi Last Multiplier and the Lagrangian of the system to construct alternative Lagrangians and first integrals in the case that there is a generous supply of symmetry. A Liénard-type nonlinear oscillator is used as an example. We also exemplify the sometimes impossible connection between the general solution of a dynamical system and its first integrals.File in questo prodotto:
