Two applications of a general method for studying constrained dynamical systems

Два применения обшего метода для исследования ограниченных динамических систем

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We continue the investigation of a method for studying the canonical formalism for constrained systems by developing two examples (the free relativistic scalar particle and a model of relativistic interaction between two scalar particles).

Riassunto

Si continua lo studio di un metodo per sviluppare il formalismo canonico per sistemi vincolati considerando due esempi (la particella scalare relativistica libera e un modello d’interazione relativistica tra due particelle scalari).

Реэюме

Мы продолжаем исследование метода иэучения канонического формалиэма для ограниченных систем. Рассматриваются два примера (свободная релятивистская скалярная частица и модель релятивистского вэаимодействия между двумя скалярными частицами).
