We examine "dynamical similarities" in the Lagrangian framework. These are symmetries of an intrinsically determined physical system under which observables remain unaffected, but the extraneous information is changed. We establish three…

We study "circular net" (discrete orthogonal net) equations for angular data generalized by external spectral parameters. A criterion defining physical regimes of these Hamiltonian equations is the reality of Lagrangian density. There are…

Scaling symmetries have previously been examined for classical field theories described by singular Lagrangians; in this article, we apply these results to the first-order formulation of General Relativity. It is shown that the dynamical…

The scalar-tensor theories of gravity in spacetime dimensions $D+1>2$ are studied. By doing Hamiltonian analysis, we obtain the geometrical dynamics of the theories from their Lagrangian. The Hamiltonian formalism indicates that the…

In describing a dynamical system, the greatest part of the work for a theoretician is to translate experimental data into differential equations. It is desirable for such differential equations to admit a Lagrangian and/or an Hamiltonian…

The Lagrangian formalism is used to derive covariant equations that are suitable for use in continuously distributed matter in curved spacetime. Special attention is given to theoretical representation, in which the Lagrangian and its…

In the extended Lagrange formalism of classical point dynamics, the system's dynamics is parametrized along a system evolution parameter $s$, and the physical time $t$ is treated as a \emph{dependent} variable $t(s)$ on equal footing with…

The most common physical formalisms are the Lagrangian formalism and the Hamiltonian formalism. From the superficial point of view, they are one and the same, but rewritten in other terms. However, it seems that the Hamiltonian formalism…
