dc.description.abstract | We present a construction of the Jacobi-Maupertuis (JM) principle for an equation of the Liénard type, ẍ + ƒ(x)ẋ2 + g(x) = 0, using Jacobi's last multiplier. The JM metric allows us to reformulate the Newtonian equation of motion for a variable mass as a geodesic equation for a Riemannian metric. We illustrate the procedure with examples of Painlevé-Gambier XXI, the Jacobi equation and the Henon-Heiles system. | |
