The Jacobi-Maupertuis Principle in Variational Integrators
The Jacobi-Maupertuis Principle in Variational Integrators
In this paper, we develop a hybrid variational integrator based on the JacobiāMaupertuis Principle of Least Action. The JacobiāMaupertuis principle states that for a mechanical system with total energy E and potential energy V(q), the curve traced out by the system on a constant energy surface minimizes the action given ā¦
