Finsler geodesics of Lagrangian systems through Routh reduction

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We make use of a symmetry reduction technique called Routh reduction to show that the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations of a strongly convex autonomous Lagrangian which lie on a specific energy level can be thought of as geodesics of an associated Finsler function.
