Contact Hamiltonian systems
In this paper, we study Hamiltonian systems on contact manifolds, which is an appropriate scenario to discuss dissipative systems. We show how the dissipative dynamics can be interpreted as a Legendrian submanifold, and also prove a coisotropic reduction theorem similar to the one in symplectic mech...

| Zusammenfassung: | In this paper, we study Hamiltonian systems on contact manifolds, which is an appropriate scenario to discuss dissipative systems. We show how the dissipative dynamics can be interpreted as a Legendrian submanifold, and also prove a coisotropic reduction theorem similar to the one in symplectic mechanics; as a consequence, we get a method to reduce the dynamics of contact Hamiltonian systems. |
