This letter focuses on studying the theory of Hojman conserved quantity of the discrete non-conservative dynamical systems. The operators of discrete translation and discrete differentiation to the right and left are introduced in discrete non-conservative dynamical systems. The Hojman theorems, the determining equations and Hojman conserved quantities of the Lie symmetry are obtained for discrete non-conservative dynamical systems. Finally, an example is discussed to illustrate the application of the results.

We provide new insights into the contact Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations of dissipative mechanical systems. In particular, we state a new form of the contact dynamical equations, and we review two recently presented Lagrangian formalisms, studying their equivalence. We define several kinds of symmetries for contact dynamical systems, as well as the notion of dissipation laws, prove a dissipation theorem and give a way to construct conserved quantities. Some well-known examples of dissipative systems are discussed.
