Abstract
The defining equation is constructed for an algebra of infinitesimal Lie-symmetry-group operators of a first-order system of ordinary differential equations; some properties of the algebra are formulated; and the relation of the algebra with conservation laws is discussed. A similar approach is applied to a Hamilton system of general form.
