Abstract
In this work we derive the generalized Hamilton–Jacobi equations for dynamical systems subject to nonholonomic constraints. The geometric formulation of Hamilton-Jacobi theory for such constraints is then developed, following the ideas of separation of variables technique and the canonical transformations. It is shown that the equations of motion which follow from the principle of d’Alembert are identical to the equations which follow from the variational action principle.
