Mei symmetries and conserved quantities for non-conservative Hamiltonian difference systems with irregular lattices

Noether conserved quantities and Mei symmetries for non-conservative Hamiltonian difference systems with irregular lattices are studied. The generalized Hamiltonian equations of the systems are given on the basis of the transformation operators in the space of discrete Hamiltonians. The Lie point transformations acting on the lattice, as well as the difference equations, and the determining equations of Mei symmetries are obtained for the systems. The discrete versions of Noether conserved quantity are constructed by the Mei symmetries. An example is presented to illustrate the results.
