For an autonomous Lagrangian, the Euler-Lagrange equation usesApply the chain rule to the Hamiltonian along an arbitrary smooth path, without assuming the unforced Euler-Lagrange equation:Consequently the energy balance for an autonomous Lagrangian isWith explicit time dependence, an additional enters . For ideal Gaussian white noise, the identity is understood through smooth-noise regularization or the Stratonovich chain rule. The original PDF correctly differentiates with respect to in ; the supplied TeX's derivative with respect to , its endpoint , and its ordinary derivative of are transcription errors.
