Inverse problem for Lagrangian mechanics

In mathematics, the inverse problem for Lagrangian mechanics is the problem of determining whether a given system of ordinary differential equations can arise as the Euler–Lagrange equations for some Lagrangian function. There has been a great deal of activity in the study of this problem since the early 20th century. A notable advance in this field was a 1941 paper by the American mathematician Jesse Douglas, in which he provided necessary and sufficient conditions for the problem to have a solution; these conditions are now known as the Helmholtz conditions, after the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz.

Présentation du trimestre "Problèmes inverses"

Inverse problems are concerned with the recovery of some unknown quantities involved in a system from the knowledge of specific measurements. Typical examples are: the boundary distance rigidity problem where one would like to recover the metric tensor of a compact Riemannian manifold wit

Let's Learn Physics: The Gravity of Hamiltonian Mechanics

Last time, we went through a bunch of formalism to find a new way of doing classical mechanics which did not rely on our specific choice of coordinates, namely Hamiltonian mechanics. Now, we will see just how useful this formalism can be in simplifying physics problems!
