Hamiltonians and Lagrangians for one-dimensional autonomous systems and dissipative systems

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5400617
The Lagrangian and the Generalized Linear Momentum are given in terms of a constant of motion for a time-dependent system. The possibility of having an explicit Hamiltonian expression is also analyzed. To illustrate the method, the approach is applied to some dissipative systems. 14 refs.
