A geometric approach to contact Hamiltonians and contact Hamilton–Jacobi theory

K Grabowska, J Grabowski - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a novel approach to contact Hamiltonian mechanics which, in contrast to the
one dominating in the literature, serves also for non-trivial contact structures. In this …
