Chapter 2 Lagrange’s and Hamilton’s Equations

Chapter 2 Lagrange’s and Hamilton’s Equations In this chapter, we consider two reformulations of Newtonian mechanics, the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formalism. The rst is naturally associated with con guration space, extended by time, while the latter is the natural description for working in phase space.

Hamilton’s Principle, from which the equations of motion will be derived. These equations are called Lagrange’s equations. Although the method based on Hamilton’s Principle does not constitute in itself a new physical theory, it is probably justified to say that it is more fundamental that Newton’s equations.

Physics 235 Chapter 7 - 4 - When we use the Lagrange's equations to describe the evolution of a system, we must recognize that these equations are only correct of the following conditions are met: 1. the force acting on the system, except the forces of constraint, must be derivable from one or more potentials.

2 CHAPTER 6. LAGRANGIAN MECHANICS 6.2 Hamilton’s Principle The equations of motion of classical mechanics are embodied in a variational principle, called Hamilton’s principle. Hamilton’s principle states that the motion of a system is such that the action functional S q(t) = Zt2 t1 dtL(q,q,t˙ ) (6.2) is an extremum, i.e. δS = 0.

The dynamical equations for the time evolution of the fields, the so called field equations or equations of motion, will be assumed to be derivable from Hamilton’s variational principle for the action S(Ω) = Z Ω d4xL(φ,∂µφr)(2.1.1) where Ω is an arbitrary volume in space-time and L is the Langrangian density
