Lagrangians for dissipative nonlinear oscillators: the method of Jacobi Last Multiplier

M. C. Nucci, K. M. Tamizhmani

We present a method devised by Jacobi to derive Lagrangians of any second-order differential equation: it consists in finding a Jacobi Last Multiplier. We illustrate the easiness a…
