Reduction is a process that uses symmetry to lower the order of a Hamiltonian system. The new variables in the reduced picture are often not canonical: there are no clear variables representing positions and momenta, and the Poisson bracket…
Modern optimal control theory involves adjoining the already known equations of motion of a dynamic system to the objective function using dynamic costates; this is done in order to constrain the optimal control solutions to satisfy the…
