Description

We present a general approach to the construction of conservation laws for the nonholonomic singular Lagrange system. Firstly, the differential equations of motion of the system are written, the definition of integrating factors is given for the system. Next, the necessary conditions for the existence of the conserved quantity are studied in detail. Finally, the conservation theorem and its inverse are established for the system, an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.
