Description
Summary:The Birkhoffian system, an important mechanical system in analytical mechanics, is studied in the background of multiple time delays. Both the multi-delay Birkhoffian system and the Hamiltonian system are investigated. First, the more general framework is discussed. The Pfaff–Birkhoff action is presented with multiple time delays. The multi-delay differential equations of motion are derived for both Birkhoffian and Hamiltonian models. Second, the invariance and two different kinds of Noether symmetries of the multi-delay Pfaff action are studied. Third, due to the effects of different time delays, the corresponding Noether-type theorems of multi-delay Birkhoffian systems are obtained. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the applications of the results.
