Variational equations of motion of the mechanical system of variable mass and their integration
Theoretical and applied mechanics, Tome 11 (1985) no. 1, p. 109
The paper examines the variational equations of motion of a mechanical system of variable mass of the form $\ddot{\xi}^\gamma=A^\gamma_\delta(t)\xi^\gamma+B^\gamma_\delta(t)\dot{\xi}^\delta$, $(\xi,\delta=1,\dots,n)$. Here it is shown how a discrete model of a linear system $x(t_{n+1})=E(t_n)x(t_n)+F(t_n)U$ be used to solve the variations $\xi^\gamma(t)$.
