This work is devoted to a systematic exposition of the dynamics of a rigid body, considered as a system with kinematic constraints. Having accepted the variational problem in accordance with this, we no longer need any additional postulates…
We show how to "concatenate" variational principles over different bases into one over a single base, thereby providing a unified Lagrangian treatment of interacting systems. As an example we study a Klein-Gordon field interacting with a…

Formation control of autonomous agents can be seen as a physical system of individuals interacting with local potentials, and whose evolution can be described by a Lagrangian function. In this paper, we construct and implement forced…
Euler-Lagrange equations and variational integrators are developed for Lagrangian mechanical systems evolving on a product of two-spheres. The geometric structure of a product of two-spheres is carefully considered in order to obtain global…

We give sufficient Gordin-type criteria for the iterated (enhanced) weak invariance principle to hold for deterministic dynamical systems. Such an invariance principle is intrinsically related to the interpretation of stochastic integrals.…
We propose and compare several projection methods applied to variational integrators for degenerate Lagrangian systems, whose Lagrangian is of the form $L = \vartheta(q) \cdot \dot{q} - H(q)$ and thus linear in velocities. While previous…
We consider a complex-valued linear mixture model, under discrete weakly stationary processes. We recover latent components of interest, which have undergone a linear mixing. We study asymptotic properties of a classical unmixing estimator,…
