Generalized Hamilton-Jacobi equations for nonholonomic dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
Employing a suitable nonlinear Lagrange functional, we derive generalized Hamilton-Jacobi equations for dynamical systems subject to linear velocity constraints. As long as a solution of the generalized Hamilton-Jacobi equation exists, the action is actually minimized (not just extremized). PACS numbers: 45.20.Jj, 45.10.Db Running Title: Nonholonomic dynamics 1

Hamilton–jacobi Theory for Degenerate Lagrangian Systems with Holonomic and Nonholonomic Constraints
We extend Hamilton–Jacobi theory to Lagrange–Dirac (or implicit Lagrangian) systems, a generalized formulation of Lagrangian mechanics that can incorporate degenerate Lagrangians as well as holonomic and nonholonomic constraints. We refer to the generalized Hamilton–Jacobi equation as the Dirac–Hamilton–Jacobi equation. For non-degenerate Lagrangian systems with nonholonomic constraints, the th...
متن کاملNonholonomic Hamilton-Jacobi Theory via Chaplygin Hamiltonization
This document is a brief overview of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory of Chaplygin systems based on [1]. In this paper, after reducing Chaplygin systems, Ohsawa et al. use a technique that they call Chaplygin Hamiltonization to turn the reduced Chaplygin systems into Hamiltonian systems. This method was first introduced in a paper by Chaplygin in 1911 where he reduced some nonholonomic systems by the...
متن کاملNonholonomic Hamilton–jacobi Equation and Integrability
We discuss an extension of the Hamilton–Jacobi theory to nonholonomic mechanics with a particular interest in its application to exactly integrating the equations of motion. We give an intrinsic proof of a nonholonomic analogue of the Hamilton–Jacobi theorem. Our intrinsic proof clarifies the difference from the conventional Hamilton–Jacobi theory for unconstrained systems. The proof also helps...
متن کاملNonholonomic Hamilton–jacobi Theory via Chaplygin Hamiltonization
We develop Hamilton–Jacobi theory for Chaplygin systems, a certain class of nonholonomic mechanical systems with symmetries, using a technique called Hamiltonization, which transforms nonholonomic systems into Hamiltonian systems. We give a geometric account of the Hamiltonization, identify necessary and sufficient conditions for Hamiltonization, and apply the conventional Hamilton–Jacobi theor...
متن کاملOn the Hamiltonian Formulation of Nonholonomic Mechanical Systems
The theory of mechanical systems with nonholonomic constraints has a long history in classical mechanics; see e.g. the books by Neimark & Fufaev [14], Edelen [6], Rosenberg [16], Arnold [l] and the references quoted in there. In this literature, nonholonomic mechanical systems are described within the variational framework by Euler-Lagrange equations with extra terms corresponding to the constr...
