L'oscillateur amorti nous offre un exemple typique de la classe des systèmes dissipatifs (contrepoint des systèmes conservatifs) pour lesquels il n'existe pas en général de hamiltonien indépendant du temps et donc pas d'énergie conservée [...] Chaque fois qu'il y a dissipation, les équations du mouvement changent par renversement du temps : la dynamique des systèmes dissipatifs n'est pas réversible. 2, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20dissipatif
