Abstract

In this work a modality is exposed in which Hamiltonians may be treated independently and not like images, via the Legendre transformation of some Lagrangians. In this way the work presents two distinct results: one of them defines the variational problem of a Hamiltonian and the other reconstructs the Miron model of the Hamiltonian geometry, using only the Hamiltonian itself.
