The Beltrami identity, named after Eugenio Beltrami, is a simplified and less general version of the Euler–Lagrange equation in the calculus of variations. The Euler–Lagrange equation serves to extremize action functionals of the form : where are constants and . For the special case of , the Euler–Lagrange equation reduces to the Beltrami identity,〔Weisstein, Eric W. ("Euler-Lagrange Differential Equation." ) From (MathWorld )--A Wolfram Web Resource. See Eq. (5).〕 where is a constant.〔Thus, the Legendre transform of the Lagrangian, the Hamiltonian, is constant on the dynamical path.〕 ==Derivation== The following derivation of the Beltrami identity〔This derivation of the Beltrami identity corresponds to the one at — Weisstein, Eric W. ("Beltrami Identity." ) From (MathWorld )--A Wolfram Web Resource.〕 starts with the Euler–Lagrange equation, : Multiplying both sides by , : According to the chain rule, : where . Rearranging this yields : Thus, substituting this expression for into the second equation of this derivation, : By the product rule, the last term is re-expressed as : and rearranging, : For the case of , this reduces to : so that taking the antiderivative results in the Beltrami identity, : where is a constant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beltrami identity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
