摘要: In 1904, using the energy integral Whittaker studied the reduction of a dynamical problem to a problem with fewer degrees of freedom for the holonomic conservative systems and obtained the Whittaker equation[1].In this article, Whittaker equations are extended to non-holonomic systems and the generalized Whittaker equations are obtained. And then these equations are transformed into Kiel-sen’s form.Finally an example is given.
