0 Introduction

Noether proposed the Noether symmetry method in her paper "Invariante Variationsprobleme"[1] in 1918. The theorem for seeking conserved quantities through the Noether symmetry method is called Noether's theorem. It unveiled the correlation between the conserved quantities of mechanical systems and their inherent dynamical symmetries. Since then, the symmetry of mechanical systems has become one of the most effective ways to find the invariants of more complex mechanical systems, so the study of Noether's theory has long been a widely discussed subject[2-5].

Birkhoff mechanics is the subsequent evolution of classical mechanics following the advent of quantum mechanics, marking the fifth phase of the development of classical mechanics[6]. Therefore, the theory of Birkhoffian mechanics can be utilized in Hamilton mechanics, Lagrange mechanics, Newton mechanics[7], statistical mechanics, biophysics, and other domains[8]. However, the usual Birkhoff equation is challenging to construct. In contrast, the generalized Birkhoff's equation with only one additional term is easy to implement and has more degrees of freedom. Therefore, studying the dynamics of generalized Birkhoffian systems is vital. Mei et al generalized the Pfaff-Birkhoff principle and derived the generalized Birkhoff's equation[9,10] from it. In 2013, they concluded a study on the dynamics of generalized Birkhoffian systems, providing a comprehensive and systematic discussion of the system[11]. Subsequently, much progress in studying the symmetry and exact invariants of generalized Birkhoffian systems[12-14] followed.

Time scale is a mathematical theory proposed by German scholar Hilger in 1988[15]. It not only aids in uncovering the resemblances and disparities between continuous and discrete systems but also helps us understand the essential problems of complex dynamic systems more accurately and clearly, so it has become a popular tool in various scientific and engineering domains. In recent years, research on time-scale operation rules, variational problems, symmetries, and conserved quantities has attracted widespread attention[16-24]. The perturbation of symmetries and their adiabatic invariants in dynamic systems under small perturbation actions are closely related to the system's symmetry and specific dynamic characteristics. Hence, its research is also essential. Research on the perturbation of symmetries and adiabatic invariants on time scales is just beginning, and the research results on Noether symmetry are even rarer[25-28].

However, Anerot et al[29] highlighted the derivation of the second Euler-Lagrange equation on time scales in Ref. [30] is incorrect and provided their method to obtain the Noether theorem for Lagrangian system on time scales. Therefore, the correctness of the conclusions obtained by applying the second Euler-Lagrange equation in the references still needs to be explored. This paper restudy exact invariants of generalized Birkhoffian systems on time scales using the method given in Ref. [29], and the perturbations and adiabatic invariants are discussed on this basis.

1 Preliminaries

The definitions and properties listed below will be utilized throughout the entirety of this paper. A more detailed content and proof process of time-scale calculus, please see Ref. [16-18].

Time scale is an arbitrary closed subset of a real number set that is not empty, usually denoted as TMathematical equation. Real number set RMathematical equation, natural number set NMathematical equation, integer set ZMathematical equation, and so on are all time scales.

Definition 1   On time scale TMathematical equation, for sTMathematical equation, we declare the forward jump operator σ: TTMathematical equation with σ(s)=inf{rT: r>s}Mathematical equation and the backward jump operator ρ: TTMathematical equation with ρ(s)=sup{rT: r<s}Mathematical equation. In particular, we let inf=supTMathematical equation and sup=infTMathematical equation, with Mathematical equation representing the empty set. If s>infTMathematical equation and ρ(s)=sMathematical equation, we say sMathematical equation is left-dense. Also, if s<supTMathematical equation and σ(s)=sMathematical equation, then we say sMathematical equation is right-dense. Besides, when ρ(s)=s=σ(s)Mathematical equation holds, sMathematical equation is called dense.

Definition 2   Define the graininess function μ: T[0,)Mathematical equation as the difference between the jump operator σ(s)Mathematical equation and sMathematical equation, that is μ(s)=σ(s)-sMathematical equation.

Definition 3   We define the set TκMathematical equation as

T κ = { T \ ( ρ ( s u p T ) , s u p T ] , s u p T < , T , o t h e r w i s e . Mathematical equation

Definition 4   We call a function f: TRMathematical equation a rd-continuous function if fMathematical equation is continuous at right-dense points and has a (finite) boundary at left-dense points in TMathematical equation, with the set of f: TRMathematical equation being represented as Crd(T,R)Mathematical equation, Crd(T)Mathematical equation or CrdMathematical equation. The set of functions f: TRMathematical equation, which are differentiable and have a derivative that is rd-continuous, can be represented as Crd1(T,R)Mathematical equation, Crd1(T)Mathematical equation, or Crd1Mathematical equation.

Definition 5   Assume a function f: TRMathematical equation and sTκMathematical equation is given. If there exists U=(s-δ,s+δ)TMathematical equation for ε>0Mathematical equation and some δ>0Mathematical equation such that

| [ f ( σ ( s ) ) - f ( t ) ] - f Δ ( s ) [ σ ( s ) - t ] | ε | σ ( s ) - t | Mathematical equation

holds true for all tUMathematical equation, then we call fΔ(s)Mathematical equation the delta derivative of fMathematical equation at sMathematical equation. Additionally, if fΔ(s)Mathematical equation is present for all sTκMathematical equation, we assert that fMathematical equation has differentiability on TκMathematical equation.

Definition 6   A function F: TRMathematical equation is referred to as an antiderivative of f: TRMathematical equation when FΔ(s)=f(s)Mathematical equation is satisfied for every sTκMathematical equation. And antiderivatives are present in every rd-continuous function f: TRMathematical equation. Furthermore, if s0TMathematical equation, then FMathematical equation defined by F(s)=s0sf(τ)ΔτMathematical equation for sTMathematical equation, acts as an antiderivative of fMathematical equation.

Besides, assume HMathematical equation, F: TRMathematical equation are differentiable at tTκMathematical equation, the following formulas valid.

H σ = H + μ H Δ ,   ( H + F ) Δ = H Δ + F Δ ,   ( H F ) Δ = H Δ F σ + H F Δ = H σ F Δ + H Δ F ,   a b H ( α ( t ) ) α Δ ( t ) Δ t = α ( a ) α ( b ) H ( t ¯ ) Δ ¯ t ¯ , Mathematical equation

where Hσ=HσMathematical equation, the map α: [a,b]TRMathematical equation is an increasing Crd1Mathematical equation function, and its image is a new time scale with Δ¯Mathematical equation symbolizes delta operator.

Lemma 1   (Dubois-Reymond) Let hCrdMathematical equation, and h: [a1,a2]RnMathematical equation. Following that, a1a2h(t)ζΔ(t)Δt=0Mathematical equation for all ζCrd1Mathematical equation with ζ(a1)=ζ(a2)=0Mathematical equation holds if and only if h(t)dMathematical equation on [a1,a2]κMathematical equation for certain dRnMathematical equation.

2 Exact Invariants

In this section, the equations and exact invariants of the generalized Birkhoffian system and the constrained Birkhoffian system on time scales will be presented.

2.1 Exact Invariant for Generalized Birkhoffian System

Generalized Pfaff-Birkhoff principle is

t 1 t 2 { δ [ R l ( t , a ν σ ) a l Δ - B ( t , a ν σ ) ] + Λ l ( t , a ν σ ) δ a l σ } Δ t = 0 , Mathematical equation(1)

δ a l | t = t 1 = δ a l | t = t 2 = 0 , Mathematical equation(2)

δ a l Δ = ( δ a l ) Δ ,   δ a l σ = ( δ a l ) σ , Mathematical equation(3)

where Eq. (2) is the boundary condition and Eq. (3) is the commutative relationship, and the Birkhoffian B(t,aνσ): T×R2nRMathematical equation, the Birkhoff's functions Rl(t,aνσ): T×R2nRMathematical equation and the additional items Λl(t,aνσ): T×R2nRMathematical equation all belong to Crd1Mathematical equation, aνσ(t)=(aνσ)(t)Mathematical equation, alΔ(t)=Δal(t)/ΔtMathematical equation, t[t1,t2]κMathematical equation, l,ν=Mathematical equation1,2,,2nMathematical equation.

From Eqs. (1)-(3), we have

0 = t 1 t 2 [ δ R l ( t , a ν σ ) a l Δ + R l ( t , a ν σ ) δ a l Δ - δ B ( t , a ν σ ) + Λ l ( t , a ν σ ) δ a l σ ] Δ t = t 1 t 2 [ R l a ν σ δ a ν σ a l Δ + R l δ a l Δ - B a ν σ δ a ν σ + Λ l δ a l σ ] Δ t = t 1 t 2 { [ t 1 t ( R l a ν σ a l Δ ) Δ τ δ a ν ] Δ + R ν ( δ a ν ) Δ - t 1 t ( R l a ν σ a l Δ ) Δ τ ( δ a ν ) Δ - ( t 1 t B a ν σ Δ τ δ a ν ) Δ + t 1 t B a ν σ Δ τ ( δ a ν ) Δ + ( t 1 t Λ ν Δ τ δ a ν ) Δ - t 1 t Λ ν Δ τ ( δ a ν ) Δ } Δ t = t 1 t 2 { [ - t 1 t ( R l a ν σ a l Δ ) Δ τ + R ν + t 1 t B a ν σ Δ τ - t 1 t Λ ν Δ τ ] ( δ a ν ) Δ } Δ t Mathematical equation

Then from Lemma 1, we get

- t 1 t ( R l a ν σ a l Δ ) Δ τ + R ν + t 1 t B a ν σ Δ τ - t 1 t Λ ν Δ τ = c o n s t Mathematical equation(4)

and then taking the derivative of Eq. (4), the equations of the generalized Birkhoffian system on time scales can be obtained as[24]

R ν ( t , a ϖ σ ) a l σ a ν Δ - B ( t , a ϖ σ ) a l σ - R l Δ ( t , a ϖ σ ) + Λ l ( t , a ϖ σ ) = 0 , Mathematical equation(5)

where t[t1,t2]κMathematical equation, ν,l,ϖ=1,2,,2nMathematical equation.

We introduce the following infinitesimal transformations regarding tMathematical equation and aνMathematical equation

P B ( t , a ϖ , υ ) = t ¯ = t + υ ξ B 0 0 ( t , a ϖ ) + ο ( υ ) , Mathematical equation(6)

Q B ν ( t , a ϖ , υ ) = a ¯ ν ( t ¯ ) = a ν ( t ) + υ ξ B ν 0 ( t , a ϖ ) + ο ( υ ) , Mathematical equation(7)

where υMathematical equation is an infinitesimal parameter, ξB00Mathematical equation and ξBν0Mathematical equation are the generators of infinitesimal transformations.

It is noteworthy that the generating function is usually a function of time and coordinates, and the transformation of coordinates and time that keep the motion equation unchanged forms Lie group. Sarlet and Cantrijn[31] discussed in detail the issue of function dependency in generating functions. Due to our research on the invariance of dynamic systems on time scales, we consider allowing for velocity-dependent transformations to expand the dimension of the generators.

Suppose that the map t[t1,t2]α(t):=PB(t,Mathematical equationaϖ,υ)RMathematical equation is an increasing Crd1Mathematical equation function, and its image is a new time scale with Δ¯Mathematical equation and σ¯Mathematical equation representing the delta operator and forward jump operator, respectively. And σ¯α=ασMathematical equation holds. Eqs. (6) and (7) are said to be Noether symmetric transformations for the generalized Birkhoffian system if and only if

t 1 t 2 [ R l ( t , a ν σ ) a l Δ - B ( t , a ν σ ) ] Δ t - t 1 t 2 Λ l ( t , a ν σ ) δ a l σ Δ t = t ¯ 1 t ¯ 2 [ R l ( t ¯ , a ¯ ν σ ¯ ( t ¯ ) ) a ¯ l Δ ¯ ( t ¯ ) - B ( t ¯ , a ¯ ν σ ¯ ( t ¯ ) ) ] Δ ¯ t ¯ . Mathematical equation(8)

holds. From Eq. (8), there is

t ¯ 1 t ¯ 2 [ R l ( t ¯ , a ¯ ν σ ¯ ( t ¯ ) ) a ¯ l Δ ¯ ( t ¯ ) - B ( t ¯ , a ¯ ν σ ¯ ( t ¯ ) ) ] Δ ¯ t ¯ = t 1 t 2 [ R l ( α ( t ) , ( a ¯ ν σ ¯ α ) ( t ) ) a ¯ l Δ ¯ ( α ( t ) ) - B ( α ( t ) , ( a ¯ ν σ ¯ α ) ( t ) ) ] α Δ ( t ) Δ t = t 1 t 2 [ R l ( α ( t ) , ( a ¯ ν α σ ) ( t ) ) ( a ¯ l α ) Δ ( t ) α Δ ( t ) - B ( α ( t ) , ( a ¯ ν α σ ) ( t ) ) ] α Δ ( t ) Δ t = t 1 t 2 [ R l ( P B , Q B ν σ ) Q B l Δ P B Δ - B ( P B , Q B ν σ ) ] P B Δ Δ t Mathematical equation

which is to say,

R l ( t , a ν σ ) a l Δ - B ( t , a ν σ ) - Λ l ( t , a ν σ ) δ a l σ = R l ( P B , Q B ν σ ) Q B l Δ - B ( P B , Q B ν σ ) P B Δ Mathematical equation(9)

By differentiating both sides of Eq. (9) with respect to the infinitesimal parameter υMathematical equation, let υ=0Mathematical equation, and applying δal=Δal-alΔΔtMathematical equation[20], we obtain the Noether identity

( R ν t a ν Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 0 + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ ) ξ B l 0 σ + R ν ξ B ν 0 Δ - B ξ B 0 0 Δ + Λ l ( ξ B l 0 σ - a l Δ σ ξ B 0 0 σ ) = 0 Mathematical equation(10)

Theorem 1   If ξB00(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation and ξBν0(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation satisfy Eq. (10), then the generalized Birkhoffian system (5) has the exact invariant of the form

I G B 0 ( t , a ν , a ν σ , a ν Δ ) = R l ξ B l 0 - μ ( t ) ( R l t a l Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 0 - B ξ B 0 0 + t 1 t { Δ Δ τ [ B + μ ( τ ) ( R l τ a l Δ - B τ ) ] + R l τ a l Δ - B τ - Λ l a l Δ σ } ξ B 0 0 σ Δ τ Mathematical equation(11)

Proof   Making use of Eqs. (5) and (10), we get

Δ Δ t I G B 0 = R l Δ ξ B l 0 σ + R l ξ B l 0 Δ - μ ( t ) ( R l t a l Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 0 Δ - B ξ B 0 0 Δ + R l t a l Δ ξ B 0 0 σ - B t ξ B 0 0 σ - Λ l a l Δ σ ξ B 0 0 σ = ( R l t a l Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 0 + R l Δ ξ B l 0 σ + R l ξ B l 0 Δ - B ξ B 0 0 Δ - Λ l a l Δ σ ξ B 0 0 σ = - ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ ) ξ B l 0 σ + R l Δ ξ B l 0 σ - Λ l ξ B l 0 σ = - ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ - R l Δ + Λ l ) ξ B l 0 σ = 0 Mathematical equation

Remark 1   For generalized Birkhoffian system Eq. (5), if there is Λl=0Mathematical equation, then Eq. (5) degenerates to Birkhoffian system, and the conclusion of Theorem 1 is still valid.

2.2 Exact Invariant for Constrained Birkhoffian System

If the variables aϖσMathematical equation in the Birkhoffian system have a correlation, and are constrained by the constraint equations

f β ( t , a ϖ σ ) = 0 ,   β = 1,2 , , 2 k ,   k N , Mathematical equation(12)

then do the isochronous variation for Eq. (12), we have

f β a l σ δ a l σ = 0 ,   β = 1,2 , , 2 k ,   k N . Mathematical equation(13)

The constrained Birkhoff's equations with multiplier form on time scales can be obtained as[22]

R l ( t , a ϖ σ ) a ν σ a l Δ - B ( t , a ϖ σ ) a ν σ - R ν Δ ( t , a ϖ σ ) = λ β f β ( t , a ϖ σ ) a ν σ , Mathematical equation(14)

where t[t1,t2]κMathematical equation, ν,l,ϖ=1,2,,2nMathematical equation, λβ(t,aϖσ)Mathematical equation is called the constrained multiplier, β=1,2,,2kMathematical equation. Then the constrained multipliers can be calculated by Eqs. (12) and (14). Substitute the constrained multipliers that has been calculated into Eq. (14), then Eq. (14) can be written as

R l ( t , a ϖ σ ) a ν σ a l Δ - B ( t , a ϖ σ ) a ν σ - R ν Δ ( t , a ϖ σ ) = Q ν ( t , a ϖ σ ) Mathematical equation(15)

where Qν=λβfβ(t,aϖσ)aνσMathematical equation, t[t1,t2]κMathematical equation. Eqs. (12) and (14) together are called constrained Birkhoff equations, and Eq. (15) is called the equation of the free Birkhoffian system corresponding to the constrained Birkhoffian system.

Eqs. (6) and (7) are said to be Noether symmetric transformations for the corresponding free Birkhoffian system Eq. (15) if and only if there holds

t 1 t 2 [ R l ( t , a ν σ ) a l Δ - B ( t , a ν σ ) ] Δ t + t 1 t 2 Q l ( t , a ν σ ) δ a l σ Δ t = t ¯ 1 t ¯ 2 [ R l ( t ¯ , a ¯ ν σ ¯ ( t ¯ ) ) a ¯ l Δ ¯ ( t ¯ ) - B ( t ¯ , a ¯ ν σ ¯ ( t ¯ ) ) ] Δ ¯ t ¯ Mathematical equation(16)

Therefore, for t[t1,t2]κMathematical equation, Eq. (16) gives

( R ν t a ν Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 0 + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ ) ξ B l 0 σ + R ν ξ B ν 0 Δ - B ξ B 0 0 Δ - Q l ( ξ B l 0 σ - a l Δ σ ξ B 0 0 σ ) = 0 Mathematical equation(17)

Theorem 2   For the corresponding free Birkhoffian system (15), if ξB00(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation and ξBν0(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation satisfy Eq. (17), then there exists the exact invariant

I C B 0 ( t , a ν , a ν σ , a ν Δ ) = R l ξ B l 0 - μ ( t ) ( R l t a l Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 0 - B ξ B 0 0 + t 1 t { Δ Δ τ [ B + μ ( τ ) ( R l τ a l Δ - B τ ) ] + R l τ a l Δ - B τ + Q l a l Δ σ } ξ B 0 0 σ Δ τ Mathematical equation(18)

Proof   This proof process is similar to Theorem 1.

Remark 2   For the constrained Birkhoff Eqs. (12) and (14), if ξB00(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation and ξBν0(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation satisfy the Noether identity (Eq. (17)) and constrained equation (Eq. (13)), then the system exists the same exact invariant (Eq. (18)).

3 Adiabatic Invariants

This section studies the perturbation to symmetries and the corresponding adiabatic invariants of the disturbed generalized and constrained Birkhoffian system. First, the notion of adiabatic invariant is introduced.

Definition 7   If Iz(t,aθ,aθσ,aθΔ,ε)Mathematical equation is a physical quantity on time scales of the mechanical system containing a small parameter εMathematical equation with a maximum power of zMathematical equation, and ΔIz/ΔtMathematical equation is proportional to εz+1Mathematical equation, then IzMathematical equation is known as the z-th-order adiabatic invariant of the mechanical system on time scales.

In particular, the adiabatic invariant degenerates to the exact invariant when z=0Mathematical equation.

3.1 Adiabatic Invariant for Generalized Birkhoffian System

Assuming that generalized Birkhoffian system (5) is disturbed by the minor disturbance εWBl(t,aϖσ)Mathematical equation, thus

R ν ( t , a ϖ σ ) a l σ a ν Δ - B ( t , a ϖ σ ) a l σ - R l Δ + Λ l ( t , a ϖ σ ) = ε W B l ( t , a ϖ σ ) . Mathematical equation(19)

As a result of the effect of small perturbation εWBlMathematical equation, the primitive symmetry and exact invariant of the system will be altered correspondingly. Assuming that this change occurs on the basis of the system without disturbance, then

ξ B 0 = ξ B 0 0 + ε ξ B 0 1 + ε 2 ξ B 0 2 + ,   ξ B ν = ξ B ν 0 + ε ξ B ν 1 + ε 2 ξ B ν 2 + . Mathematical equation(20)

Therefore, we hold the theorem that follows.

Theorem 3   For disturbed generalized Birkhoffian system (19), if ξB0m(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation and ξBνm(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation satisfy

( R ν t a ν Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 m + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ ) ξ B l m σ - B ξ B 0 m Δ + R ν ξ B ν m Δ + Λ l ( ξ B l m σ - a l Δ σ ξ B 0 m σ ) - W B l ( ξ B l ( m - 1 ) σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 ( m - 1 ) σ ) = 0 , Mathematical equation(21)

then this system has a z-th-order adiabatic invariant

I G B z = m = 0 z ε m { R l ξ B l m - μ ( t ) ( R l t a l Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 m - B ξ B 0 m + t 1 t { Δ Δ τ [ B + μ ( τ ) ( R l τ a l Δ - B τ ) - R l a l Δ ] + R l σ a l Δ Δ + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ + Λ l ) a l Δ + R l τ a l Δ - B τ - Λ l a l Δ σ } ξ B 0 m σ Δ τ } Mathematical equation(22)

where we let ξBlm-1=ξB0m-1=0Mathematical equation when m=0Mathematical equation.

Proof   Using Eqs. (19) and (21) can achieve

Δ Δ t I G B z = m = 0 z ε m { R l ξ B l m Δ + R l Δ ξ B l m σ - μ ( t ) ( R l t a l Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 m Δ - B ξ B 0 m Δ - R l Δ a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ - R l σ a l Δ Δ ξ B 0 m σ + R l σ a l Δ Δ ξ B 0 m σ + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ + Λ l ) a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ + R l t a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ - B t ξ B 0 m σ - Λ l a l Δ σ ξ B 0 m σ } = m = 0 z ε m [ R l ξ B l m Δ + R l Δ ξ B l m σ + ( R l t a l Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 m - B ξ B 0 m Δ - R l Δ a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ + Λ l ) a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ - Λ l a l Δ σ ξ B 0 m σ ] = m = 0 z ε m [ R l Δ ξ B l m σ - R l Δ a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ + Λ l ) a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ - ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ ) ξ B l m σ - Λ l ξ B l m σ + W B l ( ξ B l ( m - 1 ) σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 ( m - 1 ) σ ) ] = m = 0 z ε m [ R l Δ ( ξ B l m σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ ) - ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ + Λ l ) ( ξ B l m σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ ) + W B l ( ξ B l ( m - 1 ) σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 ( m - 1 ) σ ) ] = m = 0 z ε m [ ( R l Δ - R ν a l σ a ν Δ + B a l σ - Λ l ) ( ξ B l m σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ ) + W B l ( ξ B l ( m - 1 ) σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 ( m - 1 ) σ ) ] = m = 0 z ε m [ - ε W B l ( ξ B l m σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 m σ ) + W B l ( ξ B l ( m - 1 ) σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 ( m - 1 ) σ ) ] = - ε z + 1 W B l ( ξ B l z σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 z σ ) Mathematical equation

It can be seen that ΔIGBz/ΔtMathematical equation is proportional to εz+1Mathematical equation. Therefore, according to Definition 7, it can be reached that Eq. (22) is a z-th-order adiabatic invariant of the disturbed generalized Birkhoffian system (19).

3.2 Adiabatic Invariant for Constrained Birkhoffian System

Assuming that the corresponding free Birkhoffian system (15) is disturbed by the minor disturbance εBWCl(t,aϖσ)Mathematical equation, then we have

R ν ( t , a ϖ σ ) a l σ a ν Δ - B ( t , a ϖ σ ) a l σ - R l Δ - Q l ( t , a ϖ σ ) = ε B W C l ( t , a ϖ σ ) Mathematical equation(23)

Theorem 4   For the corresponding free Birkhoffian system (23), which is disturbed by εBWClMathematical equation, if ξB0m(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation and ξBνm(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation satisfy the following equation

( R ν t a ν Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 m + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ ) ξ B l m σ + R ν ξ B ν m Δ - B ξ B 0 m Δ - Q l ( ξ B l m σ - a l Δ σ ξ B 0 m σ ) + W C l ( ξ B l ( m - 1 ) σ - a l Δ ξ B 0 ( m - 1 ) σ ) = 0 Mathematical equation(24)

then this system has a z-th-order adiabatic invariant

I C B z = m = 0 z ε B m { R l ξ B l m - μ ( t ) ( R l t a l Δ - B t ) ξ B 0 m - B ξ B 0 m + t 1 t { Δ Δ t [ B + μ ( τ ) ( R l τ a l Δ - B τ ) - R l a l Δ ] Mathematical equation

+ R l σ a l Δ Δ + ( R ν a l σ a ν Δ - B a l σ - Q l ) a l Δ + R l τ a l Δ - B τ + Q l a l Δ σ } ξ B 0 m σ Δ τ } Mathematical equation(25)

where we let ξBlm-1=ξB0m-1=0Mathematical equation when m=0Mathematical equation.

Proof   A proof procedure similar to that of Theorem 3 can demonstrate the validity of this Theorem.

Remark 3   For the disturbed corresponding free Birkhoffian system (23), if ξB0m(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation and ξBνm(t,aϖ)Mathematical equation satisfy the Eq. (24) and constrained equation (Eq. (13)), so the symmetry perturbation of the corresponding free Birkhoffian system leads to the symmetry perturbation of the constrained Birkhoffian system, at which point the z-th-order adiabatic invariant of the disturbed constrained Birkhoffian system remains Eq. (25).

4 Examples

Example 1 We discuss the exact invariant and adiabatic invariant of the following system on the time scale T={2n+1:nN}Mathematical equation. The generalized Birkhoffian BMathematical equation, Birkhoff's functions RμMathematical equation and the additional items ΛlMathematical equation are

B = 1 2 ( a 3 σ ) 2 + a 2 σ ,   R 1 = a 3 σ ,   R 2 = a 4 σ ,   R 3 = R 4 = 0 ,   Λ 1 = Λ 2 = Λ 3 = 0 ,   Λ 4 = - a 4 σ . Mathematical equation(26)

Firstly, it can be calculated that σ(t)=2tMathematical equation, μ(t)=tMathematical equation. And from Eq. (5), the equations of the system can be given as

a 3 σ Δ = 0 ,   a 4 σ Δ + 1 = 0 ,   a 1 Δ - a 3 σ = 0 ,   a 2 Δ - a 4 σ = 0 . Mathematical equation(27)

Eq. (10) gives

- ξ B 2 0 σ + ξ B 3 0 σ ( a 1 Δ - a 3 σ ) + ξ B 4 0 σ a 2 Δ + a 3 σ ξ B 1 0 Δ + a 4 σ ξ B 2 0 Δ - [ 1 2 ( a 3 σ ) 2 + a 2 σ ] ξ B 0 0 Δ - a 4 σ ( ξ B 4 0 - a 4 Δ ξ B 0 0 ) σ = 0 . Mathematical equation(28)

And the infinitesimal generators have been found

ξ B 0 0 = 0 ,   ξ B 1 0 = 1 ,   ξ B 2 0 = 0 ,   ξ B 3 0 = 0 ,   ξ B 4 0 = 0 , Mathematical equation(29)

ξ ¯ B 0 0 = a 3 σ ,   ξ ¯ B 1 0 = 1 2 a 2 ,   ξ ¯ B 2 0 = 0 ,   ξ ¯ B 3 0 = 0 ,   ξ ¯ B 4 0 = 0 . Mathematical equation(30)

Therefore, from Eq. (11), it can be obtained that the exact invariants are

I B 0 = a 3 σ , Mathematical equation(31)

I ¯ B 0 = 1 2 a 2 a 3 σ - a 2 σ a 3 σ - 1 2 ( a 3 σ ) 3 + t 1 t { [ 1 2 ( a 3 σ ) 2 + a 2 σ ] Δ + a 4 σ a 4 Δ σ } a 3 σ Δ τ . Mathematical equation(32)

If T=RMathematical equation, then σ(t)=tMathematical equation, μ(t)=0Mathematical equation, we can get the classical results IC0Mathematical equation and IC1Mathematical equation of Eqs. (31) and (32)

I C 0 = a 3 Mathematical equation(33)

I C 1 = - 1 2 a 2 a 3 + 1 2 a 3 ( a 4 ) 2 - 1 6 ( a 3 ) 3 . Mathematical equation(34)

Let a1(1)=1Mathematical equation, a2(1)=0Mathematical equation, a3(1)=12Mathematical equation, a4(1)=0Mathematical equation, we can plot the IC0Mathematical equation and IC1Mathematical equation and they are both constant according to Fig. 1.

Secondly, the adiabatic invariant of the system Eq. (27) is discussed. Suppose that the small disturbance forces are

W B 1 = 0 ,   W B 2 = a 3 σ ,   W B 3 = 0 ,   W B 4 = 0 . Mathematical equation(35)

Eq. (21) gives

- ξ B 2 1 σ + ξ B 3 1 σ ( a 1 Δ - a 3 σ ) + ξ B 4 1 σ a 2 Δ - [ 1 2 ( a 3 σ ) 2 + a 2 σ ] ξ B 0 1 Δ + a 3 σ ξ B 1 1 Δ + a 4 σ ξ B 2 1 Δ - a 4 σ ( ξ B 4 1 - a 4 Δ ξ B 0 1 ) σ - a 3 σ ( ξ B 2 0 σ - a 2 Δ ξ B 0 0 σ ) = 0 . Mathematical equation(36)

Here the following solutions satisfy Eq. (36)

ξ B 0 1 = 0 ,   ξ B 1 1 = t ,   ξ B 2 1 = a 3 σ ,   ξ B 3 1 = 0 ,   ξ B 4 1 = 0 , Mathematical equation(37)

ξ ¯ B 0 1 = 0 ,   ξ ¯ B 1 1 = - a 2 a 3 σ ,   ξ ¯ B 2 1 = 0 ,   ξ ¯ B 3 1 = 0 ,   ξ ¯ B 4 1 = 0 . Mathematical equation(38)

So the first-order adiabatic invariants are achievable according to Theorem 3

I B 1 = a 3 σ + ε ( a 3 σ a 4 σ + a 3 σ t ) , Mathematical equation(39)

I ¯ B 1 = 1 2 a 2 a 3 σ - a 2 σ a 3 σ - 1 2 ( a 3 σ ) 3 + t 1 t { [ 1 2 ( a 3 σ ) 2 + a 2 σ ] Δ + a 4 σ a 4 Δ σ } a 3 σ Δ τ - ε a 2 ( a 3 σ ) 2 . Mathematical equation(40)

When T=RMathematical equation, Eqs. (39) and (40) can also degenerate into classical case. Additionally, the adiabatic invariants of a higher order can also be acquired in a comparable manner.

Example 2 For Birkhoffian function

B = 1 2 [ ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] , Mathematical equation(41)

Birkhoff's functions

R 1 = a 3 σ ,   R 2 = a 4 σ ,   R 3 = R 4 = 0 , Mathematical equation(42)

and the constraint equations

f 1 = a 1 σ a 3 σ - c 1 = 0 ,   f 2 = a 1 σ + a 4 σ - c 2 = 0 , Mathematical equation(43)

in which c1Mathematical equation, c2Mathematical equation are constant, we discuss the adiabatic invariant of the above system on time scales T={2n+1: nN}Mathematical equation.

Eq. (14) gives

- a 1 σ - a 3 σ Δ = λ 1 a 3 σ + λ 2 ,   - a 4 σ Δ = 0 ,   a 1 Δ - a 3 σ = λ 1 a 1 σ ,   a 2 Δ - a 4 σ = λ 2 . Mathematical equation(44)

According to Eqs. (43) and (44), we get

λ 1 = - a 3 σ a 1 σ + a 1 σ - a 1 μ a 1 σ ,   λ 2 = - a 1 σ + ( a 3 σ ) 2 a 1 σ - a 1 σ a 3 σ - a 1 a 3 σ μ a 1 σ . Mathematical equation(45)

Therefore, there is

Q 1 = - a 1 σ ,   Q 2 = 0 ,   Q 3 = a 1 σ - a 1 μ - a 3 σ ,   Q 4 = - a 1 σ + ( a 3 σ ) 2 a 1 σ - a 1 σ a 3 σ - a 1 a 3 σ μ a 1 σ , Mathematical equation(46)

and the equation for the corresponding free Birkhoffian system is

- a 1 σ - a 3 σ Δ = - a 1 σ ,   - a 4 σ Δ = 0 ,   a 1 Δ - a 3 σ = a 1 σ - a 1 μ - a 3 σ ,   a 2 Δ - a 4 σ = - a 1 σ + ( a 3 σ ) 2 a 1 σ - a 1 σ a 3 σ - a 1 a 3 σ μ a 1 σ . Mathematical equation(47)

Eq. (17) gives

- a 1 σ ξ B 1 0 σ + ξ B 3 0 σ ( a 1 Δ - a 3 σ ) + ξ B 4 0 σ ( a 2 Δ - a 4 σ ) - 1 2 [ ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] ξ B 0 0 Δ + a 3 σ ξ B 1 0 Δ + a 4 σ ξ B 2 0 Δ - Q 1 ( ξ B 1 0 - a 1 Δ ξ B 0 0 ) σ - Q 3 ( ξ B 3 0 - a 3 Δ ξ B 0 0 ) σ - Q 4 ( ξ B 4 0 - a 4 Δ ξ B 0 0 ) σ = 0 Mathematical equation(48)

Eq. (48) has the following solutions

ξ B 0 0 = a 4 σ ,   ξ B 1 0 = a 1 σ ,   ξ B 2 0 = - a 3 σ ,   ξ B 3 0 = 0 ,   ξ B 4 0 = - a 1 σ , Mathematical equation(49)

ξ ¯ B 0 0 = 0 ,   ξ ¯ B 1 0 = - a 1 σ ,   ξ ¯ B 2 0 = 0 ,   ξ ¯ B 3 0 = a 3 σ ,   ξ ¯ B 4 0 = a 1 σ . Mathematical equation(50)

Also, Eq. (13) gives

a 3 σ ( ξ B 1 0 - a 1 Δ ξ B 0 0 ) σ + a 1 σ ( ξ B 3 0 - a 3 Δ ξ B 0 0 ) σ = 0 ,   ( ξ B 1 0 - a 1 Δ ξ B 0 0 ) σ + ( ξ B 4 0 - a 4 Δ ξ B 0 0 ) σ = 0 . Mathematical equation(51)

Eq. (49) does not satisfy Eq. (51), so Eq. (49) corresponds to the Noether symmetric transformation of the free Birkhoffian system Eq. (47), and Eq. (50) satisfies Eq. (51), so, the corresponding transformation of Eq. (50) is the Noether symmetric transformation of the constrained Birkhoffian system.

From Eq. (18), it can be obtained that the exact invariants on this time scale are

I C B 0 = a 1 σ a 3 σ - a 3 σ a 4 σ - 1 2 a 4 σ [ ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] + t 1 t { 1 2 a 4 σ [ ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] Δ } Δ τ , Mathematical equation(52)

I ¯ C B 0 = - a 1 σ a 3 σ . Mathematical equation(53)

If T=NMathematical equation, then σ(t)=t+1Mathematical equation, μ(t)=1Mathematical equation, we can get the corresponding results ICC0Mathematical equation and ICC1Mathematical equation, and let a1(1)=1Mathematical equation, a2(1)=23Mathematical equation, a3(1)=2Mathematical equation, a4(1)=13Mathematical equation, we can also plot the exact invariants ICC0Mathematical equation and ICC1Mathematical equation, which are still constant as shown in Fig. 2.

Next, we calculate the first-order adiabatic invariants. Consider that the minor disturbance forces on the system are

W C 1 = 0 ,   W C 2 = 0 ,   W C 3 = a 1 σ + a 4 Δ a 4 σ ,   W C 4 = - a 3 Δ a 4 σ , Mathematical equation(54)

and from Eq. (24) we can get

- a 1 σ ξ B 1 1 σ + ξ B 3 1 σ ( a 1 Δ - a 3 σ ) + ξ B 4 1 σ ( a 2 Δ - a 4 σ ) + a 3 σ ξ B 1 1 Δ + a 4 σ ξ B 2 1 Δ - 1 2 [ ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] ξ B 0 1 Δ Mathematical equation

- Q 1 ( ξ B 1 1 - a 1 Δ ξ B 0 1 ) σ - Q 3 ( ξ B 3 1 - a 3 Δ ξ B 0 1 ) σ - Q 4 ( ξ B 4 1 - a 4 Δ ξ B 0 1 ) σ + W C 3 ( ξ B 3 0 σ - a 3 Δ ξ B 0 0 σ ) + W C 4 ( ξ B 4 0 σ - a 4 Δ ξ B 0 0 σ ) = 0 . Mathematical equation(55)

By calculation, it can be concluded that

ξ B 0 1 = 1 ,   ξ B 1 1 = a 3 σ ,   ξ B 2 1 = a 4 σ ,   ξ B 3 1 = 0 ,   ξ B 4 1 = 0 , Mathematical equation(56)

ξ ¯ B 0 1 = 0 ,   ξ ¯ B 1 1 = - t a 1 σ ,   ξ ¯ B 2 1 = - a 3 σ a 4 + a 1 σ a 3 ,   ξ ¯ B 3 1 = t a 3 ,   ξ ¯ B 4 1 = t a 1 Mathematical equation(57)

are the solutions to Eq. (55). Also, Eq. (13) gives

a 3 σ ( ξ B 1 - a 1 Δ ξ B 0 ) σ + a 1 σ ( ξ B 3 - a 3 Δ ξ B 0 ) σ = 0 ,   ( ξ B 1 - a 1 Δ ξ B 0 ) σ + ( ξ B 4 - a 4 Δ ξ B 0 ) σ = 0 . Mathematical equation(58)

Substituting Eq. (20) into Eq. (58) has

a 3 σ ( ξ B 1 0 + ε ξ B 1 1 - a 1 Δ ξ B 0 0 - ε a 1 Δ ξ B 0 1 ) σ + a 1 σ ( ξ B 3 0 + ε ξ B 3 1 - a 3 Δ ξ B 0 0 - ε a 3 Δ ξ B 0 1 ) σ = 0 , Mathematical equation

( ξ B 1 0 + ε ξ B 1 1 - a 1 Δ ξ B 0 0 - ε a 1 Δ ξ B 0 1 ) σ + ( ξ B 4 0 + ε ξ B 4 1 - a 4 Δ ξ B 0 0 - ε a 4 Δ ξ B 0 1 ) σ = 0 . Mathematical equation(59)

Eq. (57) satisfies Eq. (59), so Eq. (57) corresponds to the Noether symmetric transformation of the disturbed constrained Birkhoffian system, while Eq. (56) does not satisfy Eq. (59), so the corresponding transformation of Eq. (56) is the Noether symmetric transformation of the disturbed corresponding free Birkhoffian system. Then according to Eq. (25), the first-order adiabatic invariants are

I C B 1 = a 1 σ a 3 σ - a 3 σ a 4 σ - 1 2 a 4 σ [ ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] + t 1 t { 1 2 a 4 σ [ ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] Δ } Δ τ + ε B × { 1 2 [ - ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] + t 1 t { { 1 2 [ ( a 1 σ ) 2 + ( a 3 σ ) 2 + ( a 4 σ ) 2 ] - a 3 σ a 1 Δ - a 4 σ a 2 Δ } Δ + a 3 σ a 1 Δ Δ + a 4 σ a 2 Δ Δ } Δ τ } Mathematical equation(60)

I ¯ C B 1 = - a 1 σ a 3 σ + ε B ( - t a 1 σ a 3 σ - a 3 σ a 4 a 4 σ + a 1 σ a 3 a 4 σ ) . Mathematical equation(61)

Similarly, the system's higher order adiabatic invariants and those on other time scales are attainable.

5 Conclusion

Symmetry plays a pivotal and widespread role in mechanical systems, and Noether's theorem offers a pathway to discover additional conserved quantities. These conserved quantities hold significant importance in understanding mechanical systems' dynamics, stability, and computational aspects. But time scale and practical problems are very complex, so most of the current research on constrained mechanical systems on time scales is still in the stages of variational problems, symmetry problems, and conserved quantities and rarely involves the perturbation of symmetry and adiabatic invariant. In this paper, the exact invariants for the generalized Birkhoffian and constrained Birkhoffian systems and adiabatic invariants of the two systems under small perturbations are obtained. Each provided an example for verification and conducted numerical simulations on the exact invariants. Given the characteristics of unity and expansion exhibited by time scale, the approaches and results presented in this paper have the potential for broader application and extension to different systems.
