Abstract
This paper describes the connections between the notions of Hamiltonian system, contact Hamiltonian system and nonholonomic system from the perspective of differential equations and dynamical systems. It shows that action minimizing curves of nonholonomic system satisfy the dissipative Lagrange system, which is equivalent to the contact Hamiltonian system under some generic conditions. As the initial research of contact Hamiltonian dynamics in this direction, we investigate the dynamics of contact Hamiltonian systems in some special cases including invariants, completeness of phase flows and periodic behavior.
