Abstract - I
The inverse variational problem is a natural part of calculus
of variations. There is a question if given equations of
motion arise from a Lagrangian system, or not. This is
completely answered by Helmholtz conditions.
In our presentation we deal with the nonholonomic
mechanics. The inverse problem of the calculus of variations
for second order ODE in the context of nonholonomic
constraints is investigated. Relationships between Chetaev
equations, constrained Euler-Lagrange equations coming
from a nonholonomic variational principle, closed 2-forms on
constraint manifolds, and a corresponding generalization of
Helmholtz conditions are studied.
Abstract – II
It appears that every unconstrained variational system
remains variational under an arbitrary nonholonomic
constraint. On the other hand, the appropriate constraint
can be used for transforming an initially non-variational
system to the constraint variational one. We present
some simple examples.
The approach is based on the geometrical theory of
nonholonomic mechanics on fibred manifolds, first
presented and developed by Olga Rossi.

Nonholonomic variational systems
Definition ~ the main Theorem
(equivalent definition with that based of the
nonholonomic variational principle)
A constrained mechanical system [αQ] is called constraint
variational, if it contains a closed representative.
Proposition
If a constrained system arises from an unconstrained
variational system then it is constraint variational for an
arbitrary constraint.
Proof
is the direct consequence of the definition αQ = ι*α
