Let $[A]: Y'=AY$ with $A\in \mathrm{M}_n (k)$ be a differential linear system. We say that a matrix $R\in {\cal M}_{n}(\bar{k})$ is a {\em reduced form} of $[A]$ if $R\in \mathfrak{g}(\bar{k})$ and there exists $P\in GL_n (\bar{k})$ such…

A differential system $[A] : \; Y'=AY$, with $A\in \mathrm{Mat}(n, \bar{k})$ is said to be in reduced form if $A\in \mathfrak{g}(\bar{k})$ where $\mathfrak{g}$ is the Lie algebra of the differential Galois group $G$ of $[A]$. In this…

We observe that a system of irreducible, fiber-linear, first class constraints on T*M is equivalent to the definition of a foliation Lie algebroid over M. The BFV formulation of the constrained system is given by the Hamiltonian lift of the…

Here we consider the following fractional Hamiltonian system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \begin{aligned} (-\Delta)^{s} u&=H_v(u,v) \;\;&&\text{in}~\Omega,\\ (-\Delta)^{s} v&=H_u(u,v) &&\text{in}~\Omega,\\ u &= v = 0 &&\text{in} ~…

Generalizing the main result of [Aparicio-Monforte A., Compoint E., Weil J.-A., J. Pure Appl. Algebra 217 (2013), 1504-1516], we prove that a linear differential system is in reduced form in the sense of Kolchin and Kovacic if and only if…

In the Hamiltonian formalism, and in the presence of a symmetry Lie group, a variational reduction procedure has already been developed for Hamiltonian systems without constraints. In this paper we present a procedure of the same kind, but…

This paper is an overview of our works which are related to investigations of the integrability of natural Hamiltonian systems with homogeneous potentials and Newton's equations with homogeneous velocity independent forces. The two types of…

A variational integrator of arbitrarily high-order on the special orthogonal group $SO(n)$ is constructed using the polar decomposition and the constrained Galerkin method. It has the advantage of avoiding the second-order derivative of the…

All finite element methods, as well as much of the Hilbert-space theory for partial differential equations, rely on variational formulations, that is, problems of the type: find $u\in V$ such that $a(v,u) = l(v)$ for each $v\in L$, where…

The contributions of Sophya Kowalewski to the integrability theory of the equations for the heavy top extend to a larger class of Hamiltonian systems on Lie groups; this paper explains these extensions, and along the way reveals further…
