Abstract
Generators of the algebra of first class functions in a system with second class constraints are found. It is shown that first class functions form algebras with respect to the Dirac bracket and pointwise multiplication.The subspace of functions vanishing on constraint surface are ideals of these algebras. The corresponding quotient algebras are isomorphic to the algebras of phase variables in the Dirac bracket formalism. Explicite expressions for generators and brackets of the algebras under consideration are obtained.
