Projection formalism for constrained dynamical systems: from Newtonian to Hamiltonian mechanics.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Hamiltonian of a holonomically constrained dynamical many-particle system in Cartesian coordinates has been recently derived for applications in statistical mechanics [G. R. Kneller, J. Chem. Phys. 125, 114107 (2006)]. Using the same projector formalism, we show here the equivalence of the corresponding equations of motion with those obtained from a Newtonian and a Lagrangian description. In the case of Newtonian mechanics, the general case of nonholonomic constraints is considered, too.

Application of the projection operator formalism to dissipative dynamics
Dimension reduction is a fundamental problem in the study of dynamical systems with many degrees of freedom. Efforts have been made to generalize the Mori-Zwanzig projection formalism, originally developed for Hamiltonian systems, to general non-Hamiltonian and dissipative systems. The difficulty lies in defining an invariant measure. Based on a recent discovery that a system defined by stochas...

The quantum mechanics of an N = 1 supersymmetric dynamical system constrained to a hypersurface embedded in the higher dimensional Euclidean space is investigated by using the projection-operator method (POM) of constrained systems. It is shown that the resulting Hamiltonian obtained by the successive operations of projection operators contains the ¯ h 2-contributing additional terms, which are...
