Discrete Mechanics for Forced and Constrained Systems

Geometric mechanics is a branch of mathematics that studies classical mechanics of particles and fields from the point of view of geometry and its relation to symmetry. One of its most interesting developments was bringing together numerical analysis and geometry by relating what is known as discret...

description Geometric mechanics is a branch of mathematics that studies classical mechanics of particles and fields from the point of view of geometry and its relation to symmetry. One of its most interesting developments was bringing together numerical analysis and geometry by relating what is known as discrete mechanics with numerical integration. This is called geometric integration. In the last 30 years this latter field has exploded with researchfrom the purely theoretical to the strictly applied. Variational integrators are a type of geometric integrators arising naturally from the discretization process of variational principles in mechanics.
