A generalization of Szebehely's inverse problem of dynamics
W. Sarlet, T. Mestdag, G. Prince
The so-called inverse problem of dynamics is about constructing a potential for a given family of curves. We observe that there is a more general way of posing the problem by makin…
Time-dependent kinetic energy metrics for Lagrangians of electromagnetic type
W. Sarlet, G. Prince, T. Mestdag +1
We extend the results obtained in a previous paper about a class of Lagrangian systems which admit alternative kinetic energy metrics to second-order mechanical systems with explic…
Driven cofactor systems and Hamilton-Jacobi separability
W. Sarlet, G. Waeyaert
This is a continuation of the work initiated in a previous paper on so-called driven cofactor systems, which are partially decoupling second-order differential equations of a speci…
A Recursive Scheme of First Integrals of the Geodesic Flow of a Finsler Manifold
Willy Sarlet
We review properties of so-called special conformal Killing tensors on a Riemannian manifold and the way they give rise to a Poisson-Nijenhuis structure on the tangent bund…
