In this paper, we study Hamiltonian systems on contact manifolds, which is an appropriate scenario to discuss dissipative systems. We show how the dissipative dynamics can be interpreted as a Legendrian submanifold, and also prove a coisotropic reduction theorem similar to the one in symplectic mechanics; as a consequence, we get a method to reduce the dynamics of contact Hamiltonian systems.
