Symmetries and the inverse problem of Lagrangian dynamics for linear systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
We discuss general, time-dependent, linear systems of second-order ordinary differential equations. A study is made of the similarities and discrepancies between the inverse problem of Lagrangian mechanics on the one hand, and the search for linear dynamical symmetries on the other hand.
