A method to generate first integrals from infinitesimal symmetries

Abstract

We propose a method to construct first integrals of a dynamical system, starting with a given set of independent infinitesimal symmetries. In the case of two infinitesimal symmetries, a rank two Poisson structure on the ambient space it is found, such that the vector field that generates the dynamical system, becomes a Poisson vector field. Moreover, the symplectic leaves and the Casimir functions of the associated Poisson manifold are characterized. Explicit conditions that guarantee Hamilton-Poisson realizations of the dynamical system are also given.
