Abstract
Standandard Hamiltonian mechanics in its homogeneous formulation is applied to the study of discontinuities representing rapid changes of Hamiltonians. Different formulations of Hamiltonian mechanics are reviewed. An original representation of a positive homogeneous Hamiltonian system by an outer oriented coisotropic submanifold of the phase space is proposed.
