Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Formalism for Constrained Variational Problems
We consider solutions of Lagrangian variational problems with linear constraints on the derivative. These solutions are given by curves γ in a differentiable manifold M that are everywhere tangent to a smooth distribution D on M ; such curves are called horizontal. We study the manifold structure of the set ΩP,Q(M,D) of horizontal curves that join two submanifolds P and Q of M . We consider an ...
متن کاملLagrangian and Hamiltonian Taylor variational integrators
In this paper, we present a variational integrator that is based on an approximation of the Euler–Lagrange boundary-value problem via Taylor’s method. This can be viewed as a special case of the shooting-based variational integrator. The Taylor variational integrator exploits the structure of the Taylor method, which results in a shooting method that is one order higher compared to other shooti...
متن کاملA nonlinear Hamiltonian formalism for singular Lagrangian theories
We introduce a “nonlinear” version of the Hamiltonian formalism which allows a self-consistent description of theories with degenerate Lagrangian. A generalization of the Legendre transform to the case when the Hessian is zero is done using the mixed (envelope/general) solutions of the multidimensional Clairaut equation. The corresponding system of equations of motion is equivalent to the Lagra...
متن کاملThe Lagrangian-Hamiltonian Formalism for Higher Order Field Theories
We generalize the lagrangian-hamiltonian formalism of Skinner and Rusk to higher order field theories on fiber bundles. As a byproduct we solve the long standing problem of defining, in a coordinate free manner, a hamiltonian formalism for higher order lagrangian field theories, which does only depend on the action functional and, therefore, unlike previously proposed formalisms, is free from a...
متن کاملLagrangian and Hamiltonian Formalism on a Quantum Plane
We examine the problem of defining Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics for a particle moving on a quantum plane Qq,p. For Lagrangian mechanics, we first define a tangent quantum plane TQq,p spanned by noncommuting particle coordinates and velocities. Using techniques similar to those of Wess and Zumino, we construct two different differential calculi on TQq,p. These two differential calculi ca...
