functionalDerivative, deriving as function of derivative?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello all,
I'm attempting to compute a Lagrangian EQs of motion.
Part of this requires computing the partial derivative of L with respect to variable_dot, the derivative of the variable.
syms t m1 m2 x1(t) x2(t) k
K = (1/2)*m1*diff(x1,t)^2;
P = (sym(1)/2)*k*(x1-x2)^2;
L = K - P
diff( functionalDerivative( L, diff(x1)) ,t) - functionalDerivative(L,x1)
functionalDerivative() does not like the form of the "diff(x1)". Is there a way to do this?
Thanks a lot, Dan

I was hoping that the new functionalDerivative() function would make this a little cleaner. it works great for the partial derivative in respect to x(t), it just doesn't seem to be able to handle diff(x(t)) as a parameter.
