Abstract
We derive a generalized first Noether theorem for weakly quasi-invariant systems with singular higher-order Lagrangians, subject to the extra constraints and generalized Noether identities for a variant system in phase space. The strong and weak conservation laws for variant systems are also deduced. Some preliminary applications to field theories are given. In certain cases a variant system is also a constrained Hamiltonian system. A PBRST (weak) conserved charge is obtained that differs from the usual BRST charge.
