Hamiltonian formalism is then applied to the new Lagrangian, and the order of the resulting Hamilton equations is reduced by using the invariance under isometries of the problem. For a constant curvature surface the number of isometries allows us to perform this reduction to obtain a planar nonlinear ordinary differential equation of the first order. metadata only access Symmetries and order reduction for elasticae in surfaces of constant curvature. book part
