Let be a function on a real Hilbert space and the manifold defined by Graph . We study the motion of a material point with unit mass, subjected to stay on and which moves under the action of the gravity force (characterized by ), the reaction force and the friction force ( is the friction parameter). For any initial conditions at time , we prove the existence of a trajectory defined on . We are then interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories when . More precisely, we prove the weak convergence of the trajectories when is convex. When admits a strong minimum, we show moreover that the mechanical energy exponentially decreases to its minimum.

We study the motion of a material point with unit mass, subjected to stay on $\Sigma $ and which moves under the action of the gravity force (characterized by $g&gt;0$), the reaction force and the friction force ($\gamma &gt;0$ is the friction parameter). For any initial conditions at time $t=0$, we prove the existence of a trajectory $x(.)$ defined on $\mathbb {R}_+$. We are then interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories when $t\rightarrow +\infty $. More precisely, we prove the weak convergence of the trajectories when $\Phi $ is convex. When $\Phi $ admits a strong minimum, we show moreover that the mechanical energy exponentially decreases to its minimum.
