In systems where one coordinate undergoes periodic oscillation, the net displacement in any other coordinate over a single period is shown to be given by differentiation of the action integral associated with the oscillating coordinate.…
An exact invariant is derived for $n$-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with general time-dependent potentials. The invariant is worked out in two equivalent ways. In the first approach, we define a special {\it Ansatz\/} for the…
Recent microfluidic experiments revealed that large particles advected in a fluidic loop display long-range hydrodynamic interactions. However, the consequences of such couplings on the traffic dynamics in more complex networks remain…
A $G$-strand is a map $g(t,{s}):\,\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\to G$ for a Lie group $G$ that follows from Hamilton's principle for a certain class of $G$-invariant Lagrangians. The SO(3)-strand is the $G$-strand version of the rigid body…

We simulate the dynamics of a single-electron source, modeled as a quantum dot with on-site Coulomb interaction and tunnel coupling to an adjacent lead, in time-dependent density functional theory. Based on this system, we develop a…
The problem of the ultraviolet divergences that arise in describing the nucleon dynamics at low energies is considered. By using the example of an exactly solvable model it is shown that after renormalization the interaction generating…
The existence of a random attractor in H^1(R^3) \times L^2(R^3) is proved for the damped semilinear stochastic wave equation defined on the entire space R^3. The nonlinearity is allowed to have a cubic growth rate which is referred to as…
When ions move through solids, they interact with the solid's constituent atoms and cause them to vibrate around their equilibrium points. This vibration, in turn, modifies the potential landscape through which the mobile ions travel.…
We study one- and two-soliton solutions of noncommutative Chern-Simons theory coupled to a nonrelativistic or a relativistic scalar field. In the nonrelativistic case, we find a tower of new stationary time-dependent solutions, all with the…
The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between Hamiltonian dynamics and constrained variational calculus. We describe both using the notion of Lagrangian submanifolds of convenient symplectic manifolds and using the so-called…
There exist instances of dynamical systems possessing symmetry transformations of which the conserved Noether charges generating these symmetries feature an explicit time dependence in their functional representation over phase space. The…
We consider a simple motivating example of a non-Hamiltonian dynamical system with time-dependent constraints obtained by imposing rheonomic non-integrable Bilimovich's constraint on a freely rotating rigid body. Dynamics of this…
We consider a relativistic extended object described by a reparametrization invariant local action that depends on the extrinsic curvature of the worldvolume swept out by the object as it evolves. We provide a Hamiltonian formulation of the…
This article presents a systematic methodology for modeling a class of flexible multidimensional mechanical structures defined by linear elastic relations that directly allows to obtain their infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian…
General Relativity can be reformulated as a geometrodynamical theory, called Shape Dynamics, that is not based on spacetime (in particular refoliation) symmetry but on spatial diffeomorphism and local spatial conformal symmetry. This leads…
Here it is shown that the unitary dynamics of a quantum object may be obtained as the conditional expectation of a counting process of object-clock interactions. Such a stochastic process arises from the quantization of the clock, and this…
It is shown that any dynamic equation on a configuration bundle $Q\to R$ of non-relativistic time-dependent mechanics is associated with connections on the affine jet bundle $J^1Q\to Q$ and on the tangent bundle $TQ\to Q$. As a consequence,…
We derive the time-dependent von K\'arm\'an plate equations from three dimensional, purely atomistic particle models. In particular, we prove that a thin structure of interacting particles whose dynamics is governed by Newton's laws of…
We consider a nonlocal curve evolution belonging to a hierarchy of models for the dynamics of an inextensible elastic filament in a 3D Stokes fluid. This model captures the principal part of a full free boundary problem for an elastic…
