Unified variational theory of reversible and irreversible dynamics — Discovery of dissipative Lagrangians weighted in time

Reversible dynamics is well-known to obey variational principles based on the action being the time integral of a Lagrangian with time-reversal symmetry. The purpose of the present paper is to find dissipative Lagrangians giving variational principles in dissipative dynamics with broken time-reversa...
