It is proved that the Pontryagin derivative \(\mathcal P_{X}\) coincides on vector fields \(X \in \mathrm{Vect} M\), (\(M\) – the configuration space of the problem), with the Lie bracket \(ad_{X}\), and the flow generated on the cotangent bundle \(T^* M\) by the vector field \(\mathcal P_{X}\) is bundle-preserving.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1287.49001].
