This thesis aims to study nonlocal Lagrangians with a finite and an infinite number of degrees of freedom. We obtain an extension of Noether's theorem and Noether's identities for such Lagrangians. We then set up a Hamiltonian formalism for…
A variational proof is provided of the existence and uniqueness of evolutions of regular Lagrangian systems.
We study Jacobi-Lie Hamiltonian systems admitting Vessiot-Guldberg Lie algebras of Hamiltonian vector fields related to Jacobi structures on real low-dimensional Jacobi-Lie groups. Also, we find some examples of Jacobi-Lie Hamiltonian…
The multiplicative Lagrangian and Hamiltonian introduce an additional parameter that, despite its variation, results in identical equations of motion as those derived from the standard Lagrangian. This intriguing property becomes even more…
Lagrangian multiforms provide a variational framework for describing integrable hierarchies. This thesis presents two approaches for systematically constructing Lagrangian one-forms, which cover the case of finite-dimensional integrable…
The symmetry approach to the determination of Jacobi's last multiplier is inverted to provide a source of additional symmetries for the Euler-Poinsot system. These additional symmetries are nonlocal. They provide the symmetries for the…
The use of generalized Lagrangians for describing elementary particles was already claimed by Ostrogradskii. It is shown how the spin structure of elementary particles arises if one allows the Lagrangian to depend on higher order…
We provide a simplified form of Primal Augmented Lagrange Multiplier algorithm. We intend to fill the gap in the steps involved in the mathematical derivations of the algorithm so that an insight into the algorithm is made. The experiment…
An interesting family of geometric integrators for Lagrangian systems can be defined using discretizations of the Hamilton's principle of critical action. This family of geometric integrators is called variational integrators. In this…
Dualities are hidden symmetries that map seemingly unrelated physical systems onto each other. The goal of this work is to systematically construct families of Hamiltonians endowed with a given duality and to provide a universal description…
In a recent paper a slightly modified version of the Bateman system, originally proposed to describe a damped harmonic oscillator, was proposed. This system is really different from the Bateman's one, in the sense that this latter cannot be…
We associate with each simple Lie algebra a system of second-order differential equations invariant under a non-compact real form of the corresponding Lie group. In the limit of a contraction to a Schr\"odinger algebra, these equations…
By using the supersymmetric version of the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic formalism, a family of first-order constrained Lagrangians for the t-J model is found. In this approach the Hubbard ${\hat X}$-operators are used as field variables. In…
There has been a recent surge of interest in physics-based solvers for combinatorial optimization problems. We present a dynamical solver for the Ising problem that is comprised of a network of coupled parametric oscillators and show that…
We emphasize the usefulness of the Lie brackets in the context of classical and quantum mechanics. By way of examples we show that many dynamical systems, especially the ones with (gauge) constraints, can equally be treated in their time…
This article presents a unified approach to simultaneously compute the Jacobians of several singular matrix transformations in the real, complex, quaternion and octonion cases. Formally, these Jacobians are obtained for real normed division…
Under certain assumptions (such as weak exacteness or monotonicity) we show that splitting Lagrangians through cobordism has an energy cost and, from this cost being smaller than certain explicit bounds, we deduce some strong forms of…
Two Lagrangian formulations for describing of the damped harmonic oscillator have been introduced by Bateman. For these models we construct higher derivative generalization which enjoys the l-conformal Newton-Hooke symmetry. The dynamics of…
The aim of the present text is twofold: to provide a compendium of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian geometries and to introduce and investigate new analytical Mechanics: Finslerian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian. The fundamental equations (or…
We present a discretization of the Jacobi last multiplier, with some applications to the computation of solutions of difference equations.
