Non-holonomic constraints: Considerations on the least action principle also from a thermodynamic viewpoint

For the system with non-holonomic constraints, the principle of least action does not seem to lead to the equations describing the motion, which are consistent with the physical behaviour. Here, some considerations are developed on this fundamental topic in Mathematical Physics. Moreover, a thermody...
