It is shown that the zilch conservation law arises as the Noether current corresponding to a variational symmetry of a duality-symmetric Maxwell Lagrangian. The action of the corresponding symmetry generator on the duality-symmetric…
Evidence and results suggesting that a Noether--like theorem for conservation laws in 1D RCA can be obtained. Unlike Noether's theorem, the connection here is to the maximal congruences rather than the automorphisms of the local dynamics.…

We study in optimal control the important relation between invariance of the problem under a family of transformations, and the existence of preserved quantities along the Pontryagin extremals. Several extensions of Noether theorem are…

We introduce a method to construct conservation laws for a large class of linear partial differential equations. In contrast to the classical result of Noether, the conserved currents are generated by any symmetry of the operator, including…

Conservation laws are formulated for systems of differential equations by using symmetries and adjoint symmetries, and an application to systems of evolution equations is made, together with illustrative examples. The formulation does not…
This paper presents a formulation of Noether's theorem for fractional classical fields. We extend the variational formulations for fractional discrete systems to fractional field systems. By applying the variational principle to a…
Integrable velocity-dependent constraints are said to be semiholonomic. For good reasons, holonomic and semiholonomic constraints are thought to be indistinguishable in Lagrangian mechanics. This well-founded belief notwithstanding, here we…
A generalization of the KP equation involving higher-order dispersion is studied. This equation appears in several physical applications. As new results, the Lie point symmetries are obtained and used to derive conservation laws via…
The investigation of approximate symmetries of reparametrization invariant Lagrangians of n + 1 degrees of freedom and quadratic velocities is presented. We show that extra conditions emerge which give rise to approximate and conditional…
This paper develops methods for simplifying systems of partial differential equations that have families of conservation laws which depend on functions of the independent or dependent variables. In some cases, such methods can be combined…
