单词 | lagrange |
释义 | Lagrangen. Used attributively and in the possessive to designate various concepts introduced by Lagrange or arising out of his work, as Lagrange equation n. (also Lagrange's equation) each of a set of equations of motion in classical dynamics relating the total kinetic energy T of a system to a set of generalized co-ordinates qr and forces Qr, and to the time t, and having the form d(∂T/∂q̇r)/dt − ∂T/∂qr = Qr. (In many contexts interchangeable with Lagrangian.) ΚΠ 1858 Rep. 27th Meeting Brit. Assoc. Advancem. Sci. 1857 i. 12 The force function U is independent of the differential coefficients η′,..and, consequently, of the variables ω,.., hence, writing H = T − U, the equations take the form dη/dt = dH/dω, dω/dt = −dH/dη,..which correspond to the condensed form obtained by writing T − V = R in Lagrange's equations. 1902 Encycl. Brit. XXVII. 568/1 Hence the typical Lagrange's equation may be now written in the form d(∂T/∂q̇r)/dt − ∂T/∂qr = −∂V/∂qr, or, again, ṗr = −∂(V − T)/∂qr. 1902 Encycl. Brit. XXVII. 568/1 A classical example of the application of Lagrange's equations is to the motion of a top. 1942 J. L. Synge & B. A. Griffith Princ. Mech. xv. 453 Two features of Lagrange's equations should be emphasized. First, there is no unique set of generalized coordinates; however we choose them, the equations of motion always have the form (15.215). Secondly, since only working forces contribute to δW, reactions of constraint are automatically eliminated. [Note] Except where forces of friction do work. 1958 E. U. Condon & H. Odishaw Handbk. Physics v. ii. 18/1 If the total number of systems is N, Σnj = N ΣnjEj = E... Using the method of Lagrange multipliers, introduce multipliers β and λ and find the set of nj's which make δ[log P − λ(N − Σnj) + β(E − ΣnjEj)] = 0. 1962 J. Riordan Stochastic Service Syst. iv. 66 g(y)e−g(y) = y. The solution of this, obtained by Lagrange expansion, is g(y) = ∑n = 1 (nn − 1yn)/n! 1967 M. G. Smith Introd. Theory Partial Differential Equations i. 3 Comparing (1.2.8) and (1.2.9) we have the Lagrange equations ṗk = ∂L/∂qk and pk = ∂L/∂q̇k.
