The Hamiltonian method
scholar.harvard.eduXV-2 CHAPTER 15. THE HAMILTONIAN METHOD ilarities between the Hamiltonian and the energy, and then in Section 15.2 we’ll rigorously deflne the Hamiltonian and derive Hamilton’s equations, which are the equations that take the place of Newton’s laws and the Euler-Lagrange equations.
The Lagrangian Method - Harvard University
scholar.harvard.edu6.1 The Euler-Lagrange equations Here is the procedure. Consider the following seemingly silly combination of the kinetic and potential energies (T and V, respectively), L · T ¡V: (6.1) This is called the Lagrangian. Yes, there is a minus sign in the deflnition (a plus sign would simply give the total energy).
