Geometric Hamilton-Jacobi theory for systems with external forces
Abstract
In this paper, we develop a Hamilton-Jacobi theory for forced Hamiltonian and Lagrangian systems. We study the complete solutions, particularize for Rayleigh systems and present some examples. Additionally, we present a method for the reduction and reconstruction of the Hamilton-Jacobi problem for forced Hamiltonian systems with symmetry. Furthermore, we consider the reduction of the Hamilton-Jacobi problem for a Caplygin system to the Hamilton-Jacobi problem for a forced Lagrangian system.
