1 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS IOAN BUCATARU, RADU MIRON Abstract. The geometry of a nonconservative mechanical system is determined by its associated semispray and the corresponding nonlinear connection. The semispray is uniquely determined by the symplectic structure and the energy of the corresponding Lagrange space and the external force eld. We prove that the corresponding nonlinear connection is uniquely determined by its compatibility with the metric tensor and the symplectic structure of the Lagrange space. We study the variation of the energy and Lagrangian functions along the evolution curves and the horizontal curves and give necessary and sucient conditions by which these variations vanish. We provide examples of mechanical systems which are dissipative and for which the evolution nonlinear connection is either metric or symplectic. MSC classication: 53C60, 58B20, 70H03 nonconservative mechanical system, semispray, nonlinear connection, external force eld, dissipative system Introduction The use of nonlinear connections for the geometry of systems of second order dierential equation has been proposed by Crampin [6] and Grione [12]. Since then nonlinear connections were intensively studied together with some associated geometric structures such as Berwald connections, dynamical covariant derivative, horizontal dierentiation, horizontal lift by Abraham and Marsden [1], Crampin and Pirani [7], De León and Rodrigues [9], Krupkova [14], Miron and Anastasiei [18], Szenthe [20], Szilasi and Muzsnay [21], Yano and Ishihara [22]. The geometry of a Lagrange space is the geometry of its canonical semispray and the associated nonlinear connection as it has been developed by Miron and Anastasiei [18]. In this case, it has been shown in [4] that the canonical nonlinear connection is uniquely determined by its compatibility with the metric structure and the symplectic structure. Using techniques that are specic to Lagrange geometry, Miron [16] introduces and investigates some geometric aspects of nonconservative mechanical systems by means of the corresponding semispray and nonlinear connection. The geometry of nonconservative mechanical systems, where the external force eld depends on both position and velocity, was rigorously investigated by Klein [13] and Godbillon [11]. The dynamical system of a nonconservative mechanical systems is a second order vector eld, or a semispray, and it has been uniquely determined by Godbillon [11] using the symplectic structure and the energy of the Lagrange space and the external force eld. Using the external force eld of the nonconservative mechanical system, Klein [13] introduces a force tensor, which is a second rank skew symmetric tensor. Aspects regarding rst integrals for nonconservative mechanical 1
2 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 2 systems were investigated by Dukic and Vuanovic [10] and Cantrin [5]. For the particular case when the external force eld is the vertical derivation of a dissipation function, such systems were studied by Bloch [3]. In this work we extend the geometric investigation of nonconservative mechanical systems, using the associated evolution nonlinear connection. We prove that the evolution nonlinear connection is uniquely determined by two compatibility conditions with the metric structure and the symplectic structure of the Lagrange space. The covariant derivative of the Lagrange metric tensor with respect to the evolution nonlinear connection is a second rank symmetric tensor, which uniquely determines the symmetric part of the connection. The dierence between the symplectic structure of the Lagrange space and the almost-symplectic structure of the nonconservative mechanical system is the force tensor introduced by Klein [13], and used recently by Miron [16]. The force tensor, which is the vertical derivative of the external force, uniquely determines the skew-symmetric part of the evolution nonlinear connection. The force tensor vanishes in the work of Bloch [3] and therefore the symplectic geometry of the nonconservative mechanical system coincides with the symplectic geometry of the underlying Lagrange space as it has been developed by Abraham and Marsden [1]. If the Lagrangian function is not homogeneous of second order with respect to the velocity-coordinates, as it happens in the Riemannian and Finslerian framework, the energy of the system is dierent from the Lagrangian function and the evolution curves (solution of the Lagrange equations are dierent from the horizontal curves of the system. In the last part of the paper a special attention is paid to the particular case of Finslerian mechanical systems. Examples of dissipative mechanical systems are given, as well as examples of nonconservative mechanical systems that are compatible with the metric structure and the symplectic structure of the space. 1. Geometric structures on tangent bundle In this section we introduce the geometric structures that live on the total space of tangent (cotangent bundle, which we use in this work such as: Liouville vector eld, semispray, vertical and horizontal distribution. For an n-dimensional C -manifold M, we denote by (T M, π, M its tangent bundle and by (T M, τ, M its cotangent bundle. The total space T M (T M of the tangent (cotangent bundle will be the phase space of the coordinate velocities (momenta of our mechanical system. Let ( U, φ = ( x i be a local chart at some point q M from a xed atlas of C -class of the dierentiable manifold M. We denote by ( π 1 (U, Φ = ( x i, y i the induced local chart at u π 1 (q T M. The linear map π,u : T u T M T π(u M induced by the canonical submersion π is an epimorphism of linear spaces for each u T M. Therefore, its kernel determines a regular, n-dimensional, integrable distribution V : u T M V u T M := Kerπ,u T u T M, which is called the vertical distribution. For every u T M, { / y i u } is a basis of V u T M, where { / x i u, / y i u } is the natural basis of Tu T M induced by a local chart. Denote by F (T M the ring of real-valued functions over T M and by X (T M the F (T M-module of vector elds on T M. We also consider X v (T M the F (T M-module of vertical vector elds on T M. An important vertical vector eld is C = y i ( / y i, which is called the Liouville vector eld.
3 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 3 The mapping J : X (T M X (T M given by J = ( / y i dx i is called the tangent structure and it has the following properties: Ker J = Im J = X v (T M; rank J = n and J 2 = 0. One can consider also the cotangent structure J = dx i ( / y i with similar properties. A vector eld S χ (T M is called a semispray, or a second order vector eld, if JS = C. In local coordinates a semispray can be represented as follows: (1 S = y i x i 2Gi (x, y y i. Integral curves of a semispray S are solutions of the following system of SODE: d 2 x i ( (2 dt 2 + 2Gi x, dx = 0. dt A nonlinear connection N on T M is an n-dimensional distribution N : u T M N u T M T u T M that is supplementary to the vertical distribution. Therefore, N is called also a horizontal distribution. This means that for every u T M we have the direct sum (3 T u T M = N u T M V u T M. We denote by h and v the horizontal and the vertical proectors that correspond to the above decomposition and by X h (T M the F (T M-module of horizontal vector elds on T M. For every u = (x, y T M we denote by δ/δx i u = h ( / x i u. Then { } δ/δx i u, / y i u is a basis of Tu T M adapted to the decomposition (3. With respect to the natural basis { } / x i u, / y i u of Tu T M, we have the expression: δ (4 δx i = u x i N i (u u y, u = (x, y T M. u The functions N i (x, y, dened on domains of induced local charts, are called the { local coecients of the nonlinear connection. The corresponding dual basis is dx i, δy i = dy i + N idx}. It has been shown by Crampin [6] and Grifone [12] that every semispray determines a nonlinear connection. The horizontal proector h that corresponds to this nonlinear connection is given by: (5 h (X = 1 2 (Id L SJ (X = 1 (X [S, JX] J [S, X]. 2 Local coecients of the induced nonlinear connection are given by N i = Gi / y. 2. Geometric structures on a Lagrange space The presence of a regular Lagrangian on the tangent bundle T M determines the existence of some geometric structures such as: semispray, nonlinear connection and symplectic structure. Consider L n = (M, L a Lagrange space, [17, 18]. This means that L : T M R is dierentiable of C -class on T M = T M \ {0} and only continuous on the null section. We also assume that L is a regular Lagrangian. In other words, the (0,2- type, symmetric, d-tensor eld with components (6 g i = 1 2 L 2 y i y has rank n on T M.
4 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 4 The Cartan 1-form θ L of the Lagrange space can be dened as follows: (7 θ L = J (dl = d J L = L y i dxi. For a vector eld X = X i ( / x i + Y i ( / y i on T M, the following formulae are true: (8 θ L (X = dl (JX = d J L (X = (JX (L = L y i Xi. The Cartan 2-form ω L of the Lagrange space can be dened as follows: ( L (9 ω L = dθ L = d (J (dl = dd J L = d y i dxi. In local coordinates, the Cartan 2-form ω L has the following expression: (10 ω L = 2g i dy dx i + 1 ( 2 L 2 y i x 2 L x i y dx dx i. We can see from expression (10 that the regularity of the Lagrangian L is equivalent with the fact that the Cartan 2-form ω L has rank 2n on T M and hence it is a symplectic structure on T M. With respect to this symplectic structure, the vertical subbundle is a Lagrangian subbundle of the tangent bundle. The canonical semispray of the Lagrange space L n is the unique vector eld S on T M, [1], that satises the equation (11 i Sω L = de L. Here E L = C(L L is the energy of the Lagrange space L n. The local coecients G i of the canonical semispray S are given by the following formula, [18]: (12 Gi = 1 ( 2 L 4 gik y k x h yh L x k. Using the canonical semispray S we can associate to a regular Lagrangian L a canonical nonlinear connection with local coecients given by expression N i = G i / y. The horizontal subbundle N T M that corresponds to the canonical nonlinear connection is a Lagrangian subbundle of the tangent bundle T T M with respect to the symplectic structure ω L. This means that ω L (hx, hy = 0, X, Y χ(t M. For a more detailed discussion regarding symplectic structures in Lagrange geometry we recommend [2]. In local coordinates this implies the following expression for the symplectic structure ω L : (13 ω L = 2g i δy dx i. The dynamical derivative that corresponds to the pair : χ v (T M χ v (T M through: ( (14 X i y i = ( S ( X i + X N i y i. ( S, N In terms of the natural basis of the vertical distribution we have ( (15 y i = N i y. is dened by
5 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 5 Hence, N i are also local coecients of the dynamical derivative. Dynamical derivative is the same with the covariant derivative D in [8] or D Γ in [14], where it is called the Γ-derivative. Dynamical derivative has the following properties: (1 (X + Y = X + Y, X, Y χ v (T M, (2 (fx = S (f X + f X, X χ v (T M, f F (T M. It is easy to extend the action of to the algebra of d-tensor elds by requiring for to preserve the tensor product. For the metric tensor g, its dynamical derivative is given by (16 ( g (X, Y = S (g (X, Y g ( X, Y g (X, Y. In local coordinates, we have: ( (17 g i := ( g y i, y = S m m (g i g im N g m N i. The canonical nonlinear connection N is metric, which means that g = 0. In [4] it is shown that the canonical nonlinear connection of a Lagrange space is the unique nonlinear connection that is metric and symplectic. 3. Geometric structures of nonconservative mechanical systems The dynamical system of a nonconservative mechanical system is a semispray, which we call the evolution semispray of the system. Such semispray is uniquely determined by the symplectic structure and the energy of the underlying Lagrange space and the external force eld, [11], [5]. Based on such result, one can easily prove that the energy of the system is decreasing if and only if the force eld is dissipative. The nonlinear connection we associate to the evolution semispray is called the evolution nonlinear connection. We prove that the evolution nonlinear connection of a nonconservative mechanical system is uniquely determined by two compatibility conditions with the metric structure and the symplectic structure of the Lagrange space. Conditions by which such nonlinear connection is either metric or symplectic are studied. A nonconservative mechanical system is a triple Σ L = (M, L, σ, where (M, L is a Lagrange space and σ = σ i (x, y ( / y i is a vertical vector eld, which is called the external force eld of the system. Using the metric tensor g i of the Lagrange space one can dene the vertical one-form σ = σ i dx i, where σ i (x, y = g i (x, y σ (x, y. In this paper we use the same notation σ for the vertical vector eld σ i (x, y ( / y i and the vertical one-form σ i dx i and it will be clear from the context to which one we refer to. The covariant force eld σ induces two second rank d-tensor elds, which are the skew-symmetric and the symmetric part of the second rank d-tensor eld σ i / y. The helicoidal tensor, [16], or the generalized force tensor, [13], is dened as the vertical derivative of the covariant force eld. (18 P = d J σ = 1 2 ( σi y σ y i dx i dx. We consider also the second rank symmetric d-tensor eld (19 Q = 1 2 ( σi + σ dx i dx. y y i
6 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 6 The external force eld σ is dissipative if g (C, σ = g i y i σ 0. The evolution equations of the mechanical system Σ L are given by the following Lagrange equations, [13], [11], [3], [16]: (20 d dt ( L y i L x i = σ i, y i = dxi dt. For a regular Lagrangian, the Lagrange equations (20 are equivalent to the following system of second order dierential equations: d 2 x i ( (21 dt G i x, dx = 12 ( dt σi x, dx. dt Here the functions G i are local coecients of the canonical semispray of the Lagrange space, given by expression (12. Since (1/2 σ i are components of a d-vector eld on T M, from expression (21 we obtain that the functions (22 2G i (x, y = 2 G i (x, y 1 2 σi (x, y are coecients of a semispray S, to which we refer to as the evolution semispray of the nonconservative mechanical system, [16]. Therefore, the evolution semispray is given by S = S +(1/2 σ. Integral curves of the evolution semispray S are solutions of the SODE given by expression (21. In [11], Godbillon proves that the evolution semispray S is the unique vector eld on T M, solution of the equation (23 i S ω L = de L + σ. One can use the above expression that uniquely denes the evolution semispray to prove that the energy of the Lagrange space L n is decreasing along the evolution curves of the mechanical system if and only if the external force eld is dissipative. Indeed, using expression (23 we obtain S (E L = de L (S = σ (S = σ i y i. Along the evolution curves of the mechanical system, one can write this expression as follows: ( d (24 dt (E L = σ i x, dx dx i dt dt. Therefore, the energy is decreasing along the evolution curves if and only if the external force eld is dissipative, which means σ i y i 0. Expression (24 has been obtained by Munoz-Lecanda and Yaniz-Fernandez in [19] for the particular case of a Riemannian mechanical system. For the general case of nonconservative mechanical systems, expression (24 has been also obtained by Miron in [16], using dierent techniques. If the covariant force eld is the vertical dierential of a dissipation function, σ = d J D, the corresponding form of expression (24 has been obtained by Bloch in [3]. The evolution nonlinear connection of the mechanical system Σ L has the local coecients N i given by (25 N i = Gi y = G i y 1 σ i 4 y = N i 1 σ i 4 y. Theorem 3.1. For a nonconservative mechanical system Σ L = (M, L, σ, the evolution nonlinear connection is the unique nonlinear connection that satises the following two conditions (1 g = 1 2 Q
7 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 7 (2 ω L (hx, hy = 1 2P (X, Y, X, Y χ (T M. Proof. The dynamical covariant derivative of the metric tensor g i with respect to the pair (S, N is given by (26 g i = S (g i g ik N k g kni k ( = ( S + σ (g i g ik N k 1 σ k ( 4 y g k N k i 1 σ k 4 y i = S k k (g i g ik N g k N i + 1 σ (2σ k (g i + g ik 4 y + g σ k k y i = V k ( 2 g i 4 y k g ik y g k y i + 1 ( σi 4 y + σ y i = 1 ( σi 4 y + σ y i. In the above calculations we did use the fact that the canonical nonlinear connection N is metric and the Cartan tensor (27 C ik = 1 g i 2 y k = L y i y y k is totally symmetric. Therefore, we have obtained that the dynamical covariant derivative of the metric tensor g i with respect to the pair (S, N is given by g = 1 2 Q. Moreover, this uniquely determine the symmetric part N (i of the evolution nonlinear connection. First and last line of equation (26 can be rewritten as follows (28 2N (i := N i + N i := g ik N k + g k N k i = S (g i 1 4 ( σi y + σ y i Let us consider the almost-symplectic structure, which is called by Klein, [13], the fundamental two-form of the mechanical system: (29 ω = 2g i δy dx i, with respect to which both horizontal and vertical subbundles are Lagrangian subbundles. Using expressions (13 and (25 the canonical symplectic structure can be expressed as follows: (30 ( ω L = 2g i δy dx i = 2g i δy + 1 σ 4 y k dxk = 2g i δy dx i + 1 ( σi 4 y σ y i = ω P idx dx i = ω + d J σ. dx i dx dx i Here P i is the helicoidal tensor of the mechanical system Σ L (31 P i = 1 ( σi 2 y σ y i. Expression (30 can be rewritten as follows (32 N[i] = N [i] P i..
8 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 8 The skew-symmetric part of the canonical nonlinear connection of the Lagrange space is given by, [4] (33 N[i] := 1 ( Ni 2 N i = 1 ( 2 L 4 y i x 2 L x i y. From expressions (32 and (33 we conclude that the skew-symmetric part of the evolution nonlinear connection is uniquely determined and given by (34 N [i] = 1 ( 2 L 4 y i x 2 L x i y 1 ( σi 4 y σ y i. One can conclude now that the evolution nonlinear connection of a mechanical system is uniquely determined by the two conditions of the theorem. Corollary 3.2. The evolution nonlinear connection is metric if and only if the (0,2-type d-tensor eld σ i / y is skew symmetric. Proof. According to rst condition of the Theorem 3.1 the evolution nonlinear connection is metric if and only if and only the tensor Q vanishes, which is equivalent to the fact that the (0,2-type d-tensor eld σ i / y is skew symmetric. Corollary 3.3. The evolution nonlinear connection is compatible with the canonical symplectic structure of the Lagrange space if and only if the (0,2-type d-tensor eld σ i / y is symmetric. Proof. According to the second condition of the Theorem 3.1 the evolution nonlinear connection is compatible with the canonical symplectic structure of the Lagrange space if and only if and only the helicoidal tensor P vanishes, which is equivalent to the fact that the (0,2-type d-tensor eld σ i / y is symmetric. We remark here that the case when the (0,2-type d-tensor eld σ i / y is symmetric has been discussed by Bloch in [3]. This means that, at least locally, there exists a function D, which is called the dissipation function, such that σ i = D/ y i. In such a case, the covariant force eld σ is the vertical dierential of the dissipation function D,which means that σ = d J D. 4. Variation of energy and Lagrangian functions In this section we study the variation of energy and Lagrangian functions along the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection. For a nonconservative mechanical system Σ L, consider S the evolution semispray given by expression (22 and the evolution nonlinear connection given by expression (25 h the corresponding horizontal proector. Then hs is also a semispray, its integral curves are called the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection. They are solutions of the following system of SODE: ( dx i (35 = d2 x i ( dt dt 2 + N i x, dx dx dt dt = 0. In the previous section, expression (25 gives the variation of the energy function along the evolution curves of the nonconservative mechanical system. We study now, the variation of the energy and Lagrangian functions along the horizontal curves (35. We provide necessary and sucient conditions for the external force eld such that the Lagrangian and the energy functions are integrals for the system (35.
9 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 9 Proposition 4.1. The horizontal dierential operator d h of the Lagrangian L is given by: (36 2d h L = d J (S (L σ. In local coordinates, formula (36 is equivalent with the following expression for the horizontal covariant derivative of the Lagrangian L: (37 2L i := 2 δl δx i = y i (S (L σ i. Proof. We rst prove the following formulae regarding the Cartan 1-form θ L of the Lagrange space: (38 L S θ L = dl + σ. By dierentiating ι S θ L = C (L we obtain dι S θ L = dc (L. Using the expression of the Lie derivative L S = dι S + ι S d we obtain L S θ L = ι S θ L + dc (L. From the dening formulae (9 and (23 for ω L and S we obtain L S θ L = de L + σ + dc (L = dl + σ. In order to prove (36 we have to show that for every X χ (T M, we have that 2 (d h L (X := 2dL (hx = (JX (S (L σ (X. Using formula (38 we obtain 0 = (L S θ L dl σ (X = Sθ L (X θ L [S, X] dl (X σ (X = S ((JX (L J [S, X] (L dl (X σ (X = [S, JX] (L + (JX (S (L J [S, X] (L dl (X σ (X = (JX (S (L dl (X [S, JX] + J [S, X] σ (X = (JX (S (L σ (X dl (2hX. Consequently, formula (36 is true. Due to the linearity of the operators involved in formula (36 we have that formulae (36 and (37 are equivalent. Corollary 4.2. The Lagrangian L is constant along the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection if and only if the external force eld of the mechanical system satises the equation: σ k L (39 yi ( S(L yi y k = 2C. Proof. The Lagrangian L is constant along the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection if and only if hs(l = 0. If we contract expression (37 by y i we obtain 2 (hs (L = 2L i y i = 2 δl (40 δx i yi = C (S (L σ (S = C ( S(L + 1 σ k L yi 2 yi y k. Therefore we can see that hs (L = 0 if and only if the external force eld satises equation (39. Proposition 4.3. The horizontal dierential operator d h of the energy E L is given by: (41 d h E L (X = ω L ( S, hx.
10 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 10 In local coordinates, this is equivalent with the following expression for the horizontal covariant derivative of the energy E L : (42 E L i := δe ( L δx i = 2g i 2 G N k yk g σ k y i yk. Proof. We have that d h E L (X = (de L (hx = ω L ( S, hx. Since h is the horizontal proector for the evolution nonlinear connection, for a vector eld X = X i ( / x i + Y i ( / y i on T M we have hx = X i δ δx i = δ Xi δx i + 1 Xi 4 σ y i y. Using expression (13 for the symplectic structure ω L we have d h E L (X = ( 2g i δy i dx ( S, hx (43 ( = 2g i X i 2 G N k yk g σ k y i yk X i, and therefore we have proved both formulae (41 and (42. If we contract expression (42 by y i and set the left hand side to zero we obtain the following necessary and sucient condition such that the energy of the Lagrange space is a rst integral of the systems (35. Corollary 4.4. The energy E L is constant along the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection if and only if the external force eld of the mechanical system satises the equation: σ ( (44 g k y i yk y i = 4g i 2 G N k yk y i. 5. Finslerian mechanical systems Finsler geometry corresponds to the case when the Lagrangian function is second order homogeneous with respect to the velocity coordinates. Therefore, a Lagrange space L n = (M, L reduces to a Finsler space F n = (M, F if L (x, y = F 2 (x, y, where F (x, y > 0 and F (x, y is positively homogeneous of order one with respect to y. Using Euler's theorem for homogeneous functions we have C ( ( F 2 = F 2 / y i y i = 2F 2. A rst consequence of the homogeneity condition is that the energy of a Finsler space coincides with the square of the fundamental function of the space: E F 2 = C ( F 2 F 2 = F 2. A Finslerian mechanical system is a triple Σ F = (M, F, σ, where (M, F is a Finsler space and σ = σ i (x, y ( / y i is a vertical vector eld. The evolution equations of the Finslerian mechanical system are given by Lagrange equations (20 where L (x, y = F 2 (x, y, which are equivalent with the system of second order dierential equations (21. The local coecients G i of the canonical semispray S of the Finsler space can be written in this case as follows: (45 2 G i (x, y = γ i k (x, y y y k, where γ i k (x, y are Christoel symbols of the metric tensor g i (x, y, [18]. Therefore, the evolution semispray S of the mechanical system has the local coecients
11 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 11 2G i given by (46 2G i (x, y = γ i k (x, y y y k 1 2 σi (x, y. The evolution curves of the mechanical system are solutions of the following SODE: d 2 x i ( (47 dt 2 + γi k x, dx dx dx k dt dt dt 1 ( 2 σi x, dx = 0. dt Local coecients N i of the evolution nonlinear connection are given by expression (25. Due to the homogeneity conditions one can express them as follows: (48 N i (x, y = γk i (x, y y k 1 σ i (x, y. 4 y Therefore, the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection are solutions of the following SODE: d 2 x i ( (49 dt 2 + γi k x, dx dx dx k dt dt dt 1 σ i ( 4 y x, dx dx dt dt = 0. Proposition 5.1. Consider a Finslerian mechanical system Σ F = (M, F, σ, with the external force eld σ homogeneous of order zero. Then the energy function F 2 (x, y is constant along the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection. Proof. If the external force eld σ is homogeneous of order zero, then by Euler's theorem we have ( σ i / y y = 0 and the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection given by expression (49 coincide with the geodesics of the Finsler space. The energy function F 2 (x, y is constant along the geodesic curves of the Finsler space. One can obtain this result by using also expressions (44 or (39. The right hand side of both expression vanishes for a Finsler space, while the left hand side vanishes due to the homogeneity of the external force eld. For a Finsler space ( M, F 2 (x, y, the local coecients 2 G i (x, y of the canonical semispray are given by expression (45 and therefore they are second order homogeneous with respect to the velocity variables. This implies that 2 G = N k yk and equation (42 can be written as follows: (50 F i 2 = 1 2 g σ k y i yk = 1 σ k 2 y i yk. Here we did use the symmetry of the Cartan tensor (27 and the zeroth homogeneity of the metric tensor g i. Corollary 5.2. For a second order homogeneous external force eld σ, the energy F 2 of a Finsler space is constant along the evolution curves of the Finslerian mechanical system (M, F, V σ if and only if σ ( F 2 = 0. Proof. If the external force eld σ is second order homogeneous then equations (47 and (49 coincide and therefore the evolution curves of a Finslerian mechanical system coincide with the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection. For a Finsler space, the right hand side of both expressions (39 and (44 vanish. Using the homogeneity of σ and F 2, we obtain that the left hand side for both
12 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 12 expressions (39 and (44 can be written as σ ( F 2. Consequently, we obtain that the energy function F 2 is constant along the evolution curves of the Finslerian system if and only if σ ( F 2 = 0. Corollary 5.3. If the helicoidal tensor of the mechanical system vanishes and the external force eld is zero homogeneous then the horizontal covariant derivative of the energy function vanishes, in other words F 2 i = Examples In this section we give examples of nonconservative mechanical systems which have some of the properties that we studied in the previous sections. 1. Consider the nonconservative mechanical system Σ L = (M, L, ec, where ec = ey i ( / y i and e is a constant. We call this system a Liouville mechanical system. The evolution semispray S and the evolution nonlinear connection N have the local coecients given by: (51 2G i (x, y = 2 G i e 2 yi, N i = N i e 4 δi. The helicoidal tensor of the system is given by expression (31. Since σ i = eg ik y k we have the following expression: ( σ i (52 y = e gik y yk + g i = e ( 2C ik y k + g i. According to the above formula we have that the (0, 2-type d-tensor eld σ i / y is symmetric and therefore the helicoidal tensor of the system vanishes. According to Corollary 3.3, the evolution nonlinear connection is compatible with the symplectic structure of the Lagrange space. The dynamical covariant derivative of the metric tensor g i with respect to the pair (S, N is given by the following formula: (53 g i = e ( 2Cik y k + g i. 2 Consequently, the evolution nonlinear connection is metric if and only if the metric tensor is homogeneous of order 1. If the Liouville mechanical system is Finslerian, then C ik y k = 0 and consequently g i = (e/2 g i. We assume that the Liouville mechanical system is Finslerian. The system is dissipative if and only if 0 > g (C, ec = eg i y i y = ef 2, which holds true if and only if e < Consider the Finslerian mechanical system: Σ F = (M, F (x, y, (e/f C. For this system, the external force eld is zero homogeneous. According to the previous section the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection coincide with the geodesic curves of the Finsler space ( M, F 2. The covariant force eld σ has the components given by (54 σ i = e F g iy = e F y i, which is equivalent to σ = d J F. Nonconservative mechanical systems with the external force eld given by expression (54 were considered also by Dukic and Vianovic [10]. The helicoidal tensor is the vertical dierential of the covariant
13 NONLINEAR CONNECTION FOR NONCONSERVATIVE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 13 force eld σ, and it vanishes since d 2 JF = 0. Consequently, the evolution nonlinear connection is compatible with the symplectic structure of the Finsler space. The horizontal covariant derivative of F 2 is given by expression (50. Using the symmetry of the tensor σ k / y i and the zero homogeneity of the external force eld we obtain (55 F i 2 = 1 σ k 2 y i yk = 1 2 σ i y k yk = 0. Hence, F 2 is constant along the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection. Since σ i y i = ef and using expression (24 along the evolution curves of the mechanical system we have (56 d ( F 2 = ef. dt Therefore, the system is dissipative if and only if (e/f g (C, C < 0, which is equivalent to e < Consider the Finslerian mechanical system Σ F = (M, F, ef C. The external force eld ef C is second order homogeneous and consequently the evolution curves of the mechanical system Σ F coincide with the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection. The helicoidal tensor eld of this system vanishes as well and therefore the almost-symplectic form of the system coincides with the symplectic form of the Finsler space. 4. Consider the Finslerian mechanical system Σ F = (M, F (α, β, eβc, where F (α, β = α + β is the fundamental function of a Randers space, [15]. Here α (x, y = a i (x y i y is the fundamental function of a Riemannian space and β (x, y = b i (x y i. The covariant force eld σhas the components σ i = β (x, y y i, where y i = g i (x, y y and g i (x, y is the metric tensor of the Randers space. Since the external force eld eβc is second order homogeneous the evolution curves of the mechanical system Σ F coincide with the horizontal curves of the evolution nonlinear connection. In this case we have σ i y (x, y = ey ib (x + eβ (x, y g i (x, y, which is neither symmetric or skew symmetric. 5. Consider the nonconservative mechanical system Σ L = (M, L, σ, where σ i (x, y = γ i (x y and γ i (x is a skew symmetric tensor. This example has been used by Dukic and Vuanovic [10] to nd rst integrals for the evolution curves that cannot be obtained using standard Noether theory. For this system the evolution nonlinear connection is metric since σ i / y = i is skewsymmetric. An alternative approach of nonconservative mechanical systems can be obtained by means of Legendre transformations by using the theory of Cartan and Hamilton spaces. In this new framework, the Hamilton equations are used instead of Euler- Lagrange equations and the Hamiltonian vector eld is used instead of the canonical semispray. Acknowledgement.
