Abstract

The construction of nonstandard Lagrangians and Hamiltonian structures for Liénard equations satisfying Chiellini condition is presented and their connection to time-dependent Hamiltonian formalism is shown. We also show that such nonstandard Lagrangians are deformations of simpler standard Lagrangians. We also exhibit their connection with contact Hamiltonian mechanics.
