Abstract: Standandard Hamiltonian mechanics in its homogeneous formulation is applied to the study of discontinuities representing rapid changes of Hamiltonians. Different formulations of Hamiltonian mechanics are reviewed. An original representation of a positive homogeneous Hamiltonian system by an outer oriented coisotropic submanifold of the phase space is proposed.
