Abstract
This paper extends Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction to a hybrid setting, i.e., to systems that display both continuous and discrete behavior. We begin by considering Lagrangians and simple mechanical systems together with unilateral constraints on the set of admissible configurations; this naturally yields the notion of a hybrid Lagrangian and a simple hybrid mechanical system. From such systems we obtain, explicitly, simple hybrid systems. We give conditions on when it is possible to reduce a hybrid system obtained from a cyclic hybrid Lagrangian, and we explicitly compute the reduced hybrid system---we perform hybrid Routhian (or Lagrangian) reduction. We then turn our attention to a more general form of reduction: hybrid Hamiltonian reduction. The main result of this paper is explicit conditions on when it is possible to reduce the phase space of simple hybrid systems due to symmetries in the system; given a Hamiltonian G-space (which is the ingredient needed to reduce a continuous system), we find conditions on the hybrid system and G-space so that reduction can be carried out in a hybrid setting.
