Euler-lagrange Equations
. Consider a mechanical system consisting of N particles in R subject to some forces. Let xi ∈ R denote the position vector of the ith particle. Then all possible positions of the system are described by N -tuples (x1, . . . , xN ) ∈ (R) . The space (R) is an example of a configuration space. The time evolution of the system is described by a curve (x1(t), . . . , xN (t)) in (R) and is governed...
متن کاملThe Reduced Euler-Lagrange Equations
Marsden and Scheurle [1993] studied Lagrangian reduction in the context of momentum map constraints—here meaning the reduction of the standard Euler-Lagrange system restricted to a level set of a momentum map. This provides a Lagrangian parallel to the reduction of symplectic manifolds. The present paper studies the Lagrangian parallel of Poisson reduction for Hamiltonian systems. For the reduc...
متن کاملThe Euler-lagrange Pde and Finsler Metrizability
In this paper we investigate the following question: under what conditions can a second-order homogeneous ordinary differential equation (spray) be the geodesic equation of a Finsler space. We show that the EulerLagrange partial differential system on the energy function can be reduced to a first order system on this same function. In this way we are able to give effective necessary and suffici...
متن کاملMulti-Time Euler-Lagrange Dynamics∗
This paper introduces new types of Euler-Lagrange PDEs required by optimal control problems with performance criteria involving curvilinear or multiple integrals subject to evolutions of multidimensional-flow type. Particularly, the anti-trace multi-time Euler-Lagrange PDEs are strongly connected to the multi-time maximum principle. Section 1 comments the limitations of classical multi-variable...
متن کاملThe Euler – Lagrange Equations for Nonholonomic Systems
This paper applies the recently developed theory of discrete nonholonomic mechanics to the study of discrete nonholonomic left-invariant dynamics on Lie groups. The theory is illustrated with the discrete versions of two classical nonholonomic systems, the Suslov top and the Chaplygin sleigh. The preservation of the reduced energy by the discrete flow is observed and the discrete momentum conse...
