On Time-dependent Hamiltonian Realizations of Planar and Nonplanar Systems

In this paper, we elucidate the key role played by the cosymplectic geometry in the theory of time dependent Hamiltonian systems. In particular, we generalize the cosymplectic structures to time-dependent Nambu-Poisson Hamiltonian systems and corresponding Jacobi’s last multiplier for 3D systems. We illustrate our constructions with various examples.
