Abstract Introduction. The goal of the paper is to show that some problems formulated in the dynamics of atmospheric flight are very similar to the problems formulated in the biomechanics of motion and medicine. Three problems were compared: minimumheat transfer from the boundary layer to the ballistic missile skin, minimum-time ski descent, and the minimisation of the negative cumulated effect of the drug in cancer chemotherapy. Material and methods. All these problems are solved using the same method originally developed for aerospace systems - the method of Miele (the extremisation method of linear integrals via Green’s theorem). Results. It is shown that the problems arising in different branches of knowledge are very similar in problem formulations, mathematical models, and solution methods used. Conclusions. There are no barriers between different disciplines.

Kilmister (1) has considered dynamical systems specified by coordinates q( = 1, 2, , n) and a Lagrangian(with summation convention). He sought to determine generally covariant conditions for the existence of a first integral, , linear in the velocities. He showed that it is not, as is usually stated, necessary that there must exist an ignorable coordinate (equivalently, that b must be a Killing field:where covariant derivation is with respect to a). On the contrary, a singular integral, in the sense that for all time if satisfied initially, need not be accompanied by an ignorable coordinate.

Kilmister (1) has discussed the existence of linear integrals of a dynamical system specified by generalized coordinates qα(α = 1, 2, …, n) and a Lagrangianrepeated indices being summed from 1 to n. He derived covariant conditions for the existence of such an integral, conditions which do not imply the existence of an ignorable coordinate. Boyer (2) discussed the conditions and found the most general Lagrangian satisfying the conditions for the case of two degrees of freedom (n = 2).
