Abstract: A big-isotropic structure E is an isotropic subbundle of TMoplusTM, endowed with the metric defined by pairing. The structure E is said to be integrable if the Courant bracket [mathcalX,mathcalY]inGammaE, forallmathcalX,mathcalYinGammaE. Then, necessarily, one also has [mathcalX,mathcalZ]inGammaEperp, forallmathcalZinGammaEperp cite{V-iso}. A weak-Hamiltonian dynamical system is a vector field XH such that (XH,dH)inEperp (HinCinfty(M)). We obtain the explicit expression of XH and of the integrability conditions of E under the regularity condition dim(prTME)=const. We show that the port-controlled, Hamiltonian systems (in particular, constrained mechanics) cite{{BR},{DS}} may be interpreted as weak-Hamiltonian systems. Finally, we give reduction theorems for weak-Hamiltonian systems and a corresponding corollary for constrained mechanical systems.
