- A geometric description of Lagrangian Mechanics on Lie algebroids is developed in a parallel way to the usual formalism of Lagrangian Mechanics on the tangent bundle of a manifold. The dynamical system defined by a Lagrangian is shown to be symplectic in a generalized sense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
