Abstract In this paper we present the variational equations of constrained Birkhoffian systems and study their solution. It is proven that, under some conditions, a particular solution of variational equations can be obtained by using a first integral. At the end of the paper, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
