The Noether operator identity for a DODE is established, which relates the invariance of a Lagrangian function with the appropriate variational equations and the conserved quantities. The identity is used to formulate Noether-type theorems that give the first integrals for DODE with symmetries. Relations between the invariance of the variational second-order DODEs and the invariance of the Lagrangian functions are also analyzed. Several examples illustrate the theoretical results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-03-16T06:18:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "first integrals", "variational odes", "variational second-order delay ordinary differential", "second-order delay ordinary differential equations", "symmetries" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
