Une theorie est proposee pour expliquer la tendance des galaxies a disque a manifester des vitesses rotationnelles constantes en considerant l'hypothese suivant laquelle la dissipation d'energie est le facteur principal qui determine les formes finales des galaxies a disque. Le calcul variationnel permet de montrer que la tendance vers les courbes de rotation plates resulte de la minimisation de l'energie totale des systemes axisymetriques en equilibre. Cette tendance dans les systemes axisymetriques en rotation differentielle est due a une degenerescence partielle des equations differentielles partielles dont les solutions minimisent l'energie totale. Cette tendance persiste dans les polytropes en rotation differentielle
