Lagrangian equation
- In mechanics: Lagrange’s and Hamilton’s equations
It begins by defining a generalized momentum p i , which is related to the Lagrangian and the generalized velocity q̇ i by p i = ∂L/∂q̇ i . A new function, the Hamiltonian, is then defined by H = Σi q̇ i p i − L. From this point…
