This paper concerns the elastic structures which exhibit non-zero strain at free equilibria. Many growing tissues (leaves, flowers or marine invertebrates) attain complicated configurations during their free growth. Our study departs from…
We show that for any variational symmetry of the problem of the calculus of variations on time scales there exists a conserved quantity along the respective Euler-Lagrange extremals.
Here we consider scale invariant dynamical systems within a classical particle description of Lagrangian mechanics. We begin by showing the condition under which a spatial and temporal scale transformation of such a system can lead to a…
The properties of static, spherically symmetric configurations are considered in the framework of two models of nonlocally corrected gravity, suggested in S. Deser and R. Woodard., Phys. Rev. Lett. 663, 111301 (2007), and S. Capozziello et…
We show how Noether conservation laws can be obtained from the particle relabelling symmetries in the Euler-Poincar\'e theory of ideal fluids with advected quantities. All calculations can be performed without Lagrangian variables, by using…
This paper presents a formulation of Noether's theorem for fractional classical fields. We extend the variational formulations for fractional discrete systems to fractional field systems. By applying the variational principle to a…
We study the response of a classical massless minimally coupled scalar to a static point scalar charge on de Sitter. By considering explicit solutions of the problem we conclude that -- even though the dynamics formally admits dilatation…
Unveiling universal non-equilibrium scaling laws has been a central theme in modern statistical physics, with recent attention increasingly directed toward non-equilibrium phases that exhibit rich dynamical phenomena. A striking example…
Scaling symmetries have previously been examined for classical field theories described by singular Lagrangians; in this article, we apply these results to the first-order formulation of General Relativity. It is shown that the dynamical…
Euler-Poincare equations are derived for the dynamical folding of charged molecular strands (such as DNA) modeled as flexible continuous filamentary distributions of interacting rigid charge conformations. The new feature is that the…
We devise an iterative scheme for numerically calculating dynamical two-point correlation functions in integrable many-body systems, in the Eulerian scaling limit. Expressions for these were originally derived in Ref. [1] by combining the…

Variational principles play a fundamental role in deriving evolution equations of physics. They are working well in case of nondissipative evolution but for dissipative systems they are not unique, not predictive and not constructive. With…
