Hamilton-Jacobi theory of discrete, regular constrained systems

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The Hamilton-Jacobi differential equation of a discrete system with constraint equationsG α=0 is constructed making use of Carathéodory’s equivalent Lagrangian method. Introduction of Lagrange’s multipliers\(\dot \lambda _\alpha \) as generalized velocities enables us to treat the constraint functionsG α as the generalized momenta conjugate to\(\dot \lambda _\alpha \). Canonical equations of motion are determined.

Riassunto

L’equazione differenziale di Hamilton-Jacobi di un sistema discreto con equazioni di vincoloG α=0 si costruisce facendo uso del metodo delle lagrangiane equivalenti di Carathéodory. L’introduzione dei moltiplicatori di Lagrange\(\dot \lambda _\alpha \) come velocità generalizzate ci permette di trattare le funzioni di vincoloG α come gli impulsi generalizzati coniugati a\(\dot \lambda _\alpha \). Si determinano le equazioni canoniche del moto.
