Description

We review the concept of dissipation from quantum to classical systems, proving that it does not make sense to say that a system is "conservative" or "dissipative" per se because dissipation is a relational concept. In this spirit, we introduce a "descomposition principle" that allows describe “dissipative” systems in terms of “Contact Lagrangian structures”.
