Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) are material surfaces that shape finite-time tracer patterns in flows with arbitrary time dependence. Depending on their deformation properties, elliptic and hyperbolic LCSs have been identified from…
A Lagrangian formalism for variational second-order delay ordinary differential equations (DODEs) is developed. The Noether operator identity for a DODE is established, which relates the invariance of a Lagrangian function with the…
In the preliminary design of space missions it can be useful to identify regions of dynamics that drive the system's behaviour or separate qualitatively different dynamics. The Lagrangian Coherent Structure (LCS) has been widely used in the…
Invariance properties of classes in the variational sequence suggested to Krupka et al. the idea that there should exist a close correspondence between the notions of variationality of a differential form and invariance of its exterior…
The authors consider the interior Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation on planar domains with corners. In order to approximate the solution of the corresponding double layer boundary integral equation, they propose a numerical method of…
This is the sixth in a series of papers constructing examples of special Lagrangian m-folds in C^m. We present a construction of special Lagrangian cones in C^3 involving two commuting o.d.e.s, motivated by the first two papers of the…
The purpose of this article is to develop an algebraic approach to the problem of integrable classification of differential-difference equations with one continuous and two discrete variables. As a classification criterion, we put forward…
We investigate forms on supermanifolds defined as Lagrangians of ``copaths'' (that is, systems of equations, which may or may not specify submanifolds). For this, we consider direct products $M^{n|m}\times\Bbb R^{r|s}$ and study…
In this work we introduce a category $LDP_d$ of discrete-time dynamical systems, that we call discrete Lagrange--D'Alembert--Poincar\'e systems, and study some of its elementary properties. Examples of objects of $LDP_d$ are nonholonomic…
A hybrid system is a system whose dynamics are controlled by a mixture of both continuous and discrete transitions. The integrability of Hamiltonian systems is often identified with complete integrability or Liouville integrability, that…
We introduce a general method to construct classes of dynamical systems invariant under generalizations of the Carroll and of the Galilei groups. The method consists in starting from a space-time in $D+1$ dimensions and partitioning it in…
Hybrid inverse problems are mathematical descriptions of coupled-physics (also called multi-waves) imaging modalities that aim to combine high resolution with high contrast. The solution of a high-resolution inverse problem, a first step…
We provide a self-contained exposition of the well-known multifractal formalism for self-similar measures satisfying the strong separation condition. At the heart of our method lies a pair of quasiconvex optimization problems which encode…
We construct several variational integrators--integrators based on a discrete variational principle--for systems with Lagrangians of the form L = L_A + epsilon L_B, with epsilon << 1, where L_A describes an integrable system. These…
We show how the change from Eulerian to Lagrangian coordinates for the two-component Camassa-Holm system can be understood in terms of certain reparametrizations of the underlying isospectral problem. The respective coordinates correspond…
In this paper an approach to generate multi-dimensionally consistent $N$-component systems is proposed. The approach starts from scalar multi-dimensionally consistent quadrilateral systems and makes use of the cyclic group. The obtained…
We study variational problems for integral invariants, which are defined as integrations of invariant functions of the second fundamental form, of a smooth map between pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We derive the first variational formulae…

The paper deals with the problem of integration of equations of motion in nonholonomic systems. By means of well-known theory of the differential equations with an invariant measure the new integrable systems are discovered. Among them…
