Title: Symplectic approach to nonconservative mechanics
Abstract: The dynamics of autonomous nonconservative systems is studied in terms of Lagrangian submanifolds of a special symplectic manifold. Both the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian description are taken into consideration and the transition between the two descriptions is established by means of the generating function of a symplectic relation.
