This paper contains results on geometric Routh reduction and it is a continuation of a previous paper where a new class of transformations is introduced between Lagrangian systems obtained after Routh reduction. In general, these reduced…

We extend Routh's reduction procedure to an arbitrary Lagrangian system (that is, one whose Lagrangian is not necessarily the difference of kinetic and potential energies) with a symmetry group which is not necessarily Abelian. To do so we…

This paper discusses Routh reduction for simple hybrid forced mechanical systems. We give general conditions on whether it is possible to perform symmetry reduction for a simple hybrid Lagrangian system subject to non-conservative external…

In this paper, we make a generalization of Routh's reduction method for Lagrangian systems with symmetry to the case where not any regularity condition is imposed on the Lagrangian. First, we show how implicit Lagrange-Routh equations can…

In this paper, some new aspects related to Routh reduction of Lagrangian systems with symmetry are discussed. The main result of this paper is the introduction of a new concept of transformation that is applicable to systems obtained after…

This paper deals with the Lagrangian analogue of symplectic or point reduction by stages. We develop Routh reduction as a reduction technique that preserves the Lagrangian nature of the dynamics. To do so we heavily rely on the relation…

The first part of the article is, in fact, the classical Routh method delivered in the language of contemporary theory of Lagrangian systems. But the Routh method deals only with concrete equations and, therefore, can be applied only in the…

This note discusses Routh reduction for hybrid time-dependent mechanical systems. We give general conditions on whether it is possible to reduce by symmetries a hybrid time-dependent Lagrangian system extending and unifying previous results…

In the present work a Cartan mechanics version for Routh reduction is considered, as an intermediate step toward Routh reduction in field theory. Motivation for this generalization comes from an scheme for integrable systems [12], used for…

In this paper, following the ideas in Marsden et al.[18], we set up the regular reduction theory of a regular controlled Lagrangian (RCL) system with symmetry and momentum map, by using Legendre transformation and Euler-Lagrange vector…

Routh reduction for Lagrangian systems with cyclic variable is presented as an example of Lagrangian reduction. It appears that Routhian, which is a generating object of reduced dynamics, is not a function any more but a section of a bundle…

We make use of a symmetry reduction technique called Routh reduction to show that the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations of a strongly convex autonomous Lagrangian which lie on a specific energy level can be thought of as geodesics…

In this paper we describe Routhian reduction as a special case of standard symplectic reduction, also called Marsden-Weinstein reduction. We use this correspondence to present a generalization of Routhian reduction for quasi-invariant…

We present a reduction theory for first order Lagrangian field theories which takes into account the conservation of momenta. The relation between the solutions of the original problem with a prescribed value of the momentum and the…

In this paper we show that a variational reduction procedure can be defined for Lagrangian systems subject to scaling symmetries (i.e. Lagrangian systems defined by a homogenous Lagrangian function), in such a way that the trajectories of…

The possibility of the global Lagrangian reduction of a mechanical system with symmetry is shown to be connected with the characteristic class of a principal fiber bundle of the configuration space over the factor manifold. It is proved…

This paper develops a generalized formulation of Lagrangian mechanics on fibered manifolds, together with a reduction theory for symmetries corresponding to Lie groupoid actions. As special cases, this theory includes not only Lagrangian…

This paper develops the theory of abelian Routh reduction for discrete mechanical systems and applies it to the variational integration of mechanical systems with abelian symmetry. The reduction of variational Runge-Kutta discretizations is…

This work proposes a model-reduction methodology that preserves Lagrangian structure (equivalently Hamiltonian structure) and achieves computational efficiency in the presence of high-order nonlinearities and arbitrary parameter dependence.…

We discuss Lagrangian and Hamiltonian field theories that are invariant under a symmetry group. We apply the polysymplectic reduction theorem for both types of field equations and we investigate aspects of the corresponding reconstruction…
