In Lagrangian formalism, if is our configuration manifold, equipped with a Riemannian metric , Lagrangian function is defined as If our particle flows under the influence of gravity, then By using Lagrange multipliers , we could generalize this PDE for holonomic physical systems . Now here's my question: Apparently, there's no canonical way to use Lagrangian mechanics for non-holonomic physical systems . At this point, how does Hamiltonian mechanics behave?
How do non-holonomic constraints work in Hamiltonian formalism?
