Lie symmetry and Hojman conserved quantity of a Nielsen equation in a dynamical system of relative motion with Chetaev-type nonholonomic constraint

The Lie symmetry and Hojman conserved quantity of Nielsen equations in a dynamical system of relative motion with nonholonomic constraint of the Chetaev type are studied. The differential equations of motion of the Nielsen equation for the system, the definition and the criterion of Lie symmetry, and the expression of the Hojman conserved quantity deduced directly from the Lie symmetry for the system are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
