Some topics concerning the theory of singular dynamical systems

Some subjects related to the geometric theory of singular dynamical systems are reviewed in this paper. In particular, the following two matters are considered: the theory of canonical transformations for presymplectic Hamiltonian systems, and the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian constraint algorithms and...

Sumario:Some subjects related to the geometric theory of singular dynamical systems are reviewed in this paper. In particular, the following two matters are considered: the theory of canonical transformations for presymplectic Hamiltonian systems, and the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian constraint algorithms and the time-evolution operator.
