Energy-Preserving Parameter Changes (Mass-Spring Oscillator)
If the change in or
is deemed to be ``internal'', that is,
involving no external interactions, the appropriate accompanying
change in the internal state variables is that which conserves
energy. For the mass and its velocity, for example, we must have





If the spring constant is to change from
to
, the
instantaneous spring displacement
must satisfy
