A formal possibility of describing a one-dimensional dissipative problem ẍ = f/(x, ẋ) with completely conservative Lagrange or Hamilton equations is discussed. A reference case of a harmonic oscillator with a linear friction is considered in detail.

Keywords: classical mechanics, Lagrange equations, Hamilton equations, energy integral, conservative and dissipative systems
