We consider the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalism describing free (k)-relativistic particles with their four-momenta constrained to the (\kappa)-deformed mass shell. We study the formatism with commuting as well as noncommuting (i.e., with nonvanishing Poisson brackets) space-time coordinates; in particular a (\kappa)-deformed phase space formalism leading to the (k)-deformed covariant Heisenberg algebra is presented. We also describe the dependence of the formalism on the various definitions of the energy operator corresponding to different choices of basic generators in the (\kappa)-deformed Poincarc algebra. The quantum mechanics of free (\kappa)-relativistic particles and of the free (\kappa)-relativistic oscillator are also presented. It is shown that the (k)-relativistic oscillator describes a quantum statistical ensemble with a finite value of the Hagedorn temperature. The relation to a (k)-deformed Schrödinger quantum mechanics in which the time derivative is replaced by a linite difference is also discussed. ' 1995 Academic Press. Inc.

In this paper a formulation of classical mechanics is given with the help of linear operators in HILBERT space, which is different from the formalism of v. NEUMANN and KOOPMAN, i.e. the observables are represented by selfadjoint operators instead of real functions. It is shown that classical mechani
