    The invariance of Lagrange's equations with a given time

    It has been shown that for q = q(Q, t), the lagrangian transforms invariantly. You assume a good transformation to Q = Q(q, t). You go through the formalism and bam, the form of the lagrangian equations of motion are the same in the Q frame and the q frame. The difference here is that now we...

    The invariance of Lagrange's equations with a given time

    The invariance of Lagrange's equations with a given "time" Homework Statement What is the change in the Lagrangian in order that the Lagrangian equations of motion retain their form under the transformation to new coordinates and "time" give by: q = q(Q, \tau) t = t(Q, \tau)Homework Equations...
