Noether Theorem of Herglotz-Type for Nonconservative Hamilton Systems in Event Space

Focusing on the exploration of symmetry and conservation laws in event space, this paper studies Noether theorems of Herglotz-type for nonconservative Hamilton system. Herglotz’s generalized variational principle is first extended to event space,and on this basis, Hamilton equations of Herglotz-type in event space are derived. The invariance of Hamilton-Herglotz action is then studied by introducing infinitesimal transformation, and the definition of Herglotz-type Noether symmetry in event space is given, and its criterion is derived. Noether theorem of Herglotz-type and its inverse for event space nonconservative Hamilton system are proved. The application of Herglotz-type Noether theorem we obtained is introduced by taking Emden-Fowler equation and linearly damped oscillator as examples.
