Abstract
Using a very simple example, we will introduce Lagrangian Dynamics and make the link with Hamiltonian Dynamics. We will explain the connection between Euler-Lagrange equations and the Lagrangian variational approach. This will be the way to introduce famous weak KAM theory. We will finish by the relation with Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the viscosity solutions.
