TLDR
The equations of dynamics were put into a general form by Lagrange, who expressed them in terms of a set of generalized coordinates and velocities as discussed by the authors, and an alternative general form was later given by Hamilton, in the form of coordinates and momenta.
Abstract
1. Introduction. The equations of dynamics were put into a general form by Lagrange, who expressed them in terms of a set of generalized coordinates and velocities. An alternative general form was later given by Hamilton, in terms of coordinates and momenta. Let us consider the relative merits of the two forms.

Constraint algorithm for k-presymplectic Hamiltonian systems. Application to singular field theories

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the k-symplectic formulation of field theories is especially simple, since only tangent and cotangent bundles are needed in its description.

Forms of Relativistic Dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine the restricted principle of relativity with the hamiltonian formulation of dynamics, which leads to the appearance of ten fundamental quantities for each dynamical system, namely the total energy, the total momentum and the 6-vector which has three components equal to the total angular momentum.

Homogeneous variables in classical dynamics

TL;DR: The well-known methods of classical mechanics, based on the use of a Lagrangian or Hamiltonian function, are adequate for the treatment of nearly all dynamical systems met with in practice.
