We argue that, under multidimensional position-dependent mass (PDM) settings, the Euler-Lagrange textbook invariance falls short and turned out to be vividly incomplete and/or insecure for a set of PDM-Lagrangians. We show that the…
Within the standard Lagrangian settings (i.e., the difference between kinetic and potential energies), we discuss and report isochronicity, linearizability and exact solubility of some $n$-dimensional nonlinear position-dependent mass (PDM)…
We consider position-dependent mass (PDM) Lagrangians/Hamiltonians in their standard textbook form, where the long-standing \emph{gain-loss balance} between the kinetic and potential energies is kept intact to allow conservation of total…
An inhomogeneous Kaluza-Klein compactification to four dimensions, followed by a conformal transformation, results in a system with position dependent mass (PDM). This origin of a PDM is quite different from the condensed matter one. A…
Using a generalized coordinate along with a proper invertible coordinate transformation, we show that the Euler-Lagrange equation used by Bagchi et al. 16 is in clear violation of the Hamilton's principle. We also show that Newton's…

We investigate non-degenerate Lagrangians of the form $$ \int f(u_x, u_y, u_t) dx dy dt $$ such that the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations $ (f_{u_x})_x+ (f_{u_y})_y+ (f_{u_t})_t=0 $ are integrable by the method of hydrodynamic…
For integrable systems in the sense of multidimensional consistency (MDC) we can consider the Lagrangian as a form, which is closed on solutions of the equations of motion. For 2-dimensional systems, described by partial difference…
We analyze the dynamical equations obeyed by a classical system with position-dependent mass. It is shown that there is a non-conservative force quadratic in the velocity associated to the variable mass. We construct the Lagrangian and the…
In the present paper we examine in a systematic way the most relevant orderings of pure kinetic Hamiltonians for five different position-dependent mass (PDM) profiles: soliton-like, reciprocal quadratic and biquadratic, exponential and…

Point canonical transformation (PCT) has been used to find out new exactly solvable potentials in the position-dependent mass (PDM) framework. We solve $1$-D Schr\"{o}dinger equation in the PDM framework by considering two different fairly…
We study Lagrangian systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom that are non-local in time. We obtain an extension of Noether theorem and Noether identities to this kind of Lagrangians. A Hamiltonian formalism is then set up for this…
