Abstract
We propose a method for regularizing singular Lagrangians by adding new degrees of freedom. We illustrate this regularization method with some particular examples. This procedure is shown to be very useful when the Lagrangian is homogeneous of degree one in the velocities giving rise to an identically vanishing Hamiltonian.Keywords
