Symmetries and Mei Conserved Quantities for Nonholonomic Systems with Servoconstraints

This paper concentrates on studying the symmetries and a new type of conserved quantities called Mei conserved quantities for Nonholonomic Systems with Servoconstraints. The criterions of the Mei symmetry, the Noether symmetry, and the Lie symmetry are given. The conditions and the forms of the Mei conserved quantities deduced from these three symmetries are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
