Conservation laws for a delayed Hamiltonian system in a time scales version (Q2337846)

Summary: The theory of time scales which unifies differential and difference analysis provides a new perspective for scientific research. In this paper, we derive the canonical equations of a delayed Hamiltonian system in a time scales version and prove the Noether theorem by using the method of reparameterization with time. The results extend not only the continuous version of the Noether theorem with delayed arguments but also the discrete one. As an application of the results, we find a Noether-type conserved quantity of a delayed Emden-Fowler equation on time scales.
