By Noether's Theorem we know that any conserved quantity can be associated with a continuous symmetry. I was reading Kepler's Problem and I saw that there can be conserved quantities like Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector which might not be obvious to figure out. So my questions are,

  1. Are there any techniques to find all of the conserved quantities?

  2. How many conserved quantities can a system with $n$ degrees of freedom necessarily have?

Comments on the questions:

  1. Suppose by observations I found some conserved quantities, how can I be sure that I have found all the conserved quantities?

  2. Is there any necessary upper bound?
