Lagrangian Multipliers and Superfluous Variables

Abstract

This paper develops new forms for the Lagrangian Multipliers used in studies of constrained systems, as well as variants of the Euler Lagrange equations. These formulas facilitate the computation of the multipliers and solution of the Euler Lagrange equations. In addition, the link between virtual displacement and the multipliers Euler Lagrange is elucidated. Keywords: Lagrangian multipliers; Constrained dynamics; Multipliers; Euler Lagrange equations.
