Abstract
We use the Schwinger action principle to obtain the equations of motion in the Koopman-von Neumann operational version of classical mechanics. We restrict our analysis to non-dissipative systems. We show that the Schwinger action principle can be interpreted as a variational principle for velocity-independent forces.
