A note on Hybrid Routh reduction for time-dependent Lagrangian systems

17 Mar 2020  ·  Colombo Leonardo J., Irazú Maria Emma Eyrea, Andrés Eduardo García-Toraño ·

This note discusses Routh reduction for hybrid time-dependent mechanical systems. We give general conditions on whether it is possible to reduce by symmetries a hybrid time-dependent Lagrangian system extending and unifying previous results for continuous-time systems. We illustrate the applicability of the method using the example of a billiard with moving walls.
