AbstractIn this paper, the conformal invariance and conserved quantities for higher-order holonomic systems are studied. Firstly, by establishing the differential equation of motion for the systems and introducing a one-parameter infinitesimal transformation group together with its infinitesimal generator vector, the determining equation of conformal invariance for the systems are provided, and the conformal factors expression are deduced. Secondly, the relation between conformal invariance and the Lie symmetry by the infinitesimal one-parameter point transformation group for the higher-order holonomic systems are deduced. Thirdly, the conserved quantities of the systems are derived using the structure equation satisfied by the gauge function. Lastly, an example of a higher-order holonomic mechanical system is discussed to illustrate these results.

For a holonomic system with variable mass, the conformal invariance and the conserved quantity of Mei symmetry of Appell equations are investigated. First, by the infinitesimal one-parameter transformation group and the infinitesimal generator vector, the Mei symmetry and the conformal invariance of differential equations of motion for Appell equations in a holonomic system with variable mass are defined, and the determining equation of Mei symmetry and conformal invariance for Appell equations in a holonomic system with variable mass are given. Then, the Mei-conserved quantity corresponding to the system is derived by means of the structure equation to which the gauge function satisfies. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.

Lately a big attention has been payed on the higher order geometry. Some relevant papers are mentioned in the references. R. Miron and Gh. Atanasiu in [16], [17] studied the geometry of OsckM. R. Miron in [19] gave the comprehend theory of higher order geometry and its application. The whole theory of sprays in OsckM M is established. Here, using R. Miron's method, a variation of this theory is given. The transformation group is slightly different from that used in [19] and it will change the geometry. The adapted basis, the Liouville vector fields, the equation of sprays, will have different form. We give the relations between coefficients of S and the Liouville vector fields.

Applying some reduced Lie algebras of Lie symmetry operators of a Lie transformation group, we obtain an invariant of a second-order differential equation which can be generated by a Euler-Lagrange formulism. A corresponding discrete equation approximating it is given as well. Finally, we make use of the Lie algebras to generate some new integrable systems including (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions.
