Description
Summary:In this paper, the analysis is centered on Noether-type first integrals in Lagrange-Hamilton dynamics based on autonomous second-order Lagrangians. More precisely, by using the classical Noether’s theorem and a non-standard Legendrian duality, the single-time and multi-time versions of Noether’s result are investigated for autonomous second-order Lagrangians. A correspondence is established between the invariances under flows and the first integrals for autonomous second-order Lagrangians. In this way, our results extend, unify and improve several existing theorems in the current literature.
