I'd like to know whether, given a system, there's a way to obtain all the conserved quantities. For instance if the system consists of electric and magnetic fields, the fields must satisfy Maxwell's equations. These equations are invariant under many transformations (Lorentz transformation, rotations, spatial and temporal translations, etc. By the way is there a way, maybe from group theory, to find all the possible transformations that leaves the equation(s) invariant?) which imply as many conserved quantities thanks to Noether's theorem. In wikipedia I can see an equation that seems to give all the conserved quantities (wiki's article) but it involves the Lagrangian and I'm not sure whether the formula is valid for all systems whose Lagrangian is possible to obtain.
