The Jacobi's principle of stationary full action and its consequences

The purpose of this article is to extend the applicability of the stationarity principle of the full Jacobi action to non-conservative natural systems and to derive equations of motion corresponding to this extended principle. To this end, in addition to the well-known variation of the Jacobi action with respect to coordinates, we propose independently variating time. Small variations in coordinates and time depend on the point on the true trajectory with the usual boundary conditions.

On the equations of the inverse kinematics problem

The paper derived differential equations which solve the problem of restoration the motion parameters for a rigid reference frame from the known proper acceleration and angular velocity of its origin as functions of proper time. These equations are based on the well-known transformation to an arbitrary rigid non-inertial reference frame, which generalized the Lorentz transformation, takes into account the fact of her proper of Thomas precession and rigid fixation of the metric form reference frame. The role of this problem in physics is that all such reference frames found with the same characteristics will have the same properties. Another important advantage of these equations is that they allow you to find the motion of the non-inertial reference frame with respect to an arbitrary inertial frame. The resulting equations are nonlinear differential vector equation of the first order Riccati type \[\mathbf{\dot{v}'}=\frac{d\,\mathbf{{v}'}}{dt}=\mathbf{{W}'}-(\mathbf{{W}'{v}'})\mathbf{{v}'}-\mathbfΩ'\times \mathbf{{v}'}\] and known system of 3 equations \[\frac {1}{2}\,e^{αλν}a^{ λβ} \frac{da^{αβ} }{dt}=ω'^{ν}\,,\] which allows to determine the orientation of the coordinate system for a given function on the right side of the equation \[ {\boldsymbolω}'=\mathbfΩ'-\frac{1-\sqrt{1-{{{{v}'}}^{2}}}}{{{{{v}'}}^{2}}}\,\mathbf{{v}'}\times \mathbf{{W}'}\,,\] which are type angular velocity. The consequences of the obtained equations have been successfully verified on the example of a uniformly rotating disk.

On a Special Transformation to a Non-Inertial, Radially Rigid Reference Frame

We discuss the conditions under which a body, moving non-inertially in Minkowski space, can preserve its size. Under these conditions, using a series expansion of the generalized Lorentz transformation, we find a coor- dinate transformation connecting the laboratory inertial reference frame S and the rigid non-inertial reference frame s which moves without its own rotation with respect to S. Direct consequences of this transformation are: (a) desynchronization, in system s, of the coordinate clocks of s which were previously synchronized in S, and (b) a kinematic contraction of a ruler of system s observed in S. We also consider the dependence of the transfor- mation vector parameter on the proper coordinates of s.

The general form-invariance principle

We postulate the applicability of the general form-invariance principle in special relativity. It is shown that this principle holds in classical mechanics. Some examples of transformations between the reference frames which satisfy this principle are considered. A new transformation is proposed for a transition from a uniformly rotating reference frame to a reference frame whose origin is shifted from the rotation axis. Another possible formulation of this principle is given for the case of stationary rigid reference frames which differ from one another only by the position of the origin.
