The Pfaff-Birkhoff principle and the Birkhoff equations for relativistic Bi
rkhoff systems are given. The definition of an infinitesimal generator for
the relativistic Birkhoff systems is given; by using the invariance of the
ordinary differential equations under the infinitesimal transformations, th
e determining equations of Lie symmetries for the systems are established;
the structure equation and the conserved quantities are obtained. And the i
nverse problem of Lie symmetries of the systems is also studied. Two exampl
es are given to illustrate the application of the result.
