Gauge Functions in Classical Mechanics: From Undriven to Driven Dynamical Systems

Novel gauge functions are introduced to non-relativistic classical mechanics and used to define forces. The obtained results show that the gauge functions directly affect the energy function and allow for converting an undriven physical system into a driven one. This is a novel phenomenon in dynamic...
