# Differential of constraint equations

I have the following constraints equations :

SysCon = {-(1/2) l Cos[γ[t]] + Subscript[x, G][t] ==
0, -(1/2) l Sin[γ[t]] + Subscript[y, G][t] == 0}


I would like to manipulate these expressions so as to obtain the equations in the following form :

$$\phi _{q_d} \dot{q}_d+\phi _{q_i}\dot{q}_i$$

with $q_i = \gamma$ and $q_d = \{x_G, y_G\}$ and determine the matrix before $q_i$ and $q_d$.

May you help me to conduct this manipulation ?

I have tried without success the Dt function.

• Perfect! You help me a lot. It answers to my question. However, how is it possible to generalize so that I can use directly my list qi and qd : mat[[All, {1}]] mat[[All, 2 ;; 3]] I found in the help the function Position[ ] but It doesn't work. For example, I would like to obtain from a vector qd such as {xG,yG} a list of elements {1,2} – Bendesarts Nov 12 '15 at 7:55
• Pls remember to add the comments relevant to an answer with it (e.g. mat refers to something in the answer and not in the question.) I am not quite sure what you are asking, because it appears trivial what you are trying to do. I will update the answer. Hope that's what you want. – Suba Thomas Nov 12 '15 at 15:28

This is the complete matrix

mat = D[First /@ SysCon, {{γ[t], Subscript[x, G][t], Subscript[y, G][t]}}]


and these are the individual matrices

mat[[All, {1}]]


mat[[All, 2 ;; 3]]


Update

Generalizing a bit:

eqns = SysCon /. Equal[lhs_, rhs_] :> lhs - rhs;
Subscript[q, i] = {γ};
Subscript[q, d] = {Subscript[x, G], Subscript[y, G]};
toT[var : _[t]] := var
toT[var_] := var[t]


The matrices:

{Subscript[ϕ, Subscript[q, i]], Subscript[ϕ, Subscript[q,  d]] } =
D[eqns, {toT /@ #}] & /@ {Subscript[q, i], Subscript[q, d]};
