Are Constraints Necessary in Hamiltonian Dynamics?

[oldspice1212]

Hi there,

I'm reading on the hamiltonian method and it says we can ignore constraints? Is this true, or am I missing something here, so if we have a constraint in the system we do not have to include it in the final calculation for the equation of motion?

Hope someone could clear this up, thanks!

It would be beneficial if you gave a reference and a verbatim quote of the statement. Otherwise we are stabbing in the dark.

Nvm, I was wrong! Thanks anyways, we do include the constrain!
