CONNECTIONS ON THE FIBRE BUNDLE AND APPLICATION TO THE LAGRANGIAN MECHANICS
M. Mehdi, F. Farah and A. Mortada
|
Abstract: In this paper, we use the notion of Grifone’s connection over a tangent bundle in order to construct a connection over a sub-bundle. Then we characterize the solutions of non-holonomic Lagrangian mechanics and show that the geodesics of the connection constructed on the sub-bundle are the solutions of the non-holonomic Euler-Lagrange system. Finally, we will prove that the Hamiltonian associated to Lagrangian function is constant along the horizontal curves. |
Keywords and phrases: connections, distributions, Lagrangian mechanics, fibre bundle. |
