Symmetry-preserving perturbations of the Bateman Lagrangian and dissipative systems

Аннотация

Perturbations of the classical Bateman Lagrangian preserving a certain subalgebra of Noether symmetries are studied, and conservative perturbations are characterized by the Lie algebra sl(2, ℝ) ⊕ so(2). Non-conservative albeit integrable perturbations are determined by the simple Lie algebra sl(2,ℝ), showing further the relation of the corresponding non-linear systems with the notion of generalized Ermakov systems.
