Lecture notes on Mather's theory for Lagrangian systems
by Alfonso Sorrentino
Publisher: arXiv 2010
Number of pages: 72
Description:
In these lecture notes we shall try to to provide a brief, but hopefully comprehensive introduction to Mather's theory for Lagrangian systems and its subsequent developments by Ricardo Mane and Albert Fathi. We shall consider only the autonomous case (i.e., no dependence on time in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian).

These lecture notes provide a self-consistent introduction to Classical Mechanics. They are normally used for an intermediate course in Classical Mechanics by inserting a more general and rigorous introduction to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods.

The aim is to provide a compendium of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian geometries and to introduce and investigate new analytical Mechanics: Finslerian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian. The fundamental equations are derived from the variational calculus ...

These notes are intended as an elementary introduction into the ideas and the basic prescription of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. The only physical principles we require the reader to know are Newton's three laws ...

These notes deal primarily with the subject of Lagrangian mechanics. The control theory we discuss here is quite elementary, it will serve to give a flavour of the subject so that people can see if the area is one which they'd like to pursue.
