4 sources for · 0 against

By definition, a standard potential energy function requires path independence and conservative forces, meaning non-conservative dissipative forces cannot be directly derived from it without extended frameworks.

Complex Time Approach to the Hamiltonian and the Entropy Production of the Damped Harmonic Oscillator.
2025 · cited by 1
Explores alternative complex-time frameworks to derive Hamiltonians for damped (dissipative) oscillators, suggesting standard derivations fail.
