Abstract: This thesis reviews some features of the PDM Lagrangians. We reach the mapping of the PDM equation into a unit-mass Lagrangian in the generalized coordinates by the insertion of a nonlocal point transformation. The invariance of the PDM Euler-Lagrange equations under specific conditions is proved. We analyze the dynamical equations obeyed by nonlinear oscillator systems with position-dependent mass. Four classes of such examples with PDM-nonlinear oscillators are specified. They include Mathews-Lakshmanan oscillators, a quadratic nonlinear oscillator, a Morse-type oscillator, and a nonlinear deformation of an isotonic oscillator. Attainment among them the mapping of an isotonic nonlinear oscillator into a PDM deformed isotonic oscillator. Keywords: classical position-dependent mass, nonlocal point transformation, Euler-Lagrange equations invariance.
ÖZ : Bu tez, PDM Lagrangian’ların bazı özelliklerini gözden geçirmektedir. PDM denkleminin genelleştirilmiş koordinatlarda bir birim kütle Lagrangian’ı şeklinde eşlenebilmesine, lokal olmayan nokta dönüşümü ile ulaştık. Belirli koşullar atında PDM Euler-Lagrange denklemlerinin değişmezliği kanıtlanmıştır. Biz dinamik denklemleri analiz ederek konuma bağlı kitlelerle birlikte doğrusal olmayan osilatör sistemleri arasındaki uyumuna baktık. PDM doğrusal olmayan osilatörleri dört sınıfta örnekledik. Bunlar, Mathews-Lakshman osilatörleri, kuadratik doğrusal olmayan osilatör, Morse–tipi osilatör ve doğrusal olmayan deformasyonlu izotonik osilatörü içermektedir. Ayrıca, izotonik doğrusal olmayan osilatörün PDM defrome izotonik osilatörüne eşlenmesine de eriştik. Anahtar kelimeler: Klasik pozisyon bağımlı kitle, yerel olmayan nokta dönüşümü, Euler-Lagrange denklemlerinin değişmezliği
