On the generalized Helmholtz conditions for Lagrangian systems with dissipative forces

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

In two recent papers necessary and sufficient conditions for a given system of second-order ordinary differential equations to be of Lagrangian form with additional dissipative forces were derived. We point out that these conditions are not independent and prove a stronger result accordingly.
