Projection operator techniques in Lagrangian mechanics: symmetrically coupled oscillators

We apply projection operator techniques to the computation of the natural frequencies of oscillation for three symmetrically coupled mechanical systems. In each case, the rotation subgroup of the full symmetry group is used to determine the projection operators with the result that the Lagrangian mu...
