This is a survey of the non-definite Sturm-Liouville problem from its inception in the early 1900's until 1986.
We present a unified geometric framework for describing both the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms of regular and non-regular time-dependent mechanical systems, which is based on the approach of Skinner and Rusk (1983). The dynamical…
A rigorous probabilistic construction of Liouville conformal field theory (LCFT) on the Riemann sphere was recently given by David-Kupiainen and the last two authors. In this paper, we focus on the connection between LCFT and the classical…
The regularity theory for variational inequalities over polyhedral sets developed in a series of papers by Robinson, Ralph and Dontchev-Rockafellar in the 90s has long become classics of variational analysis. But in the available proofs of…
A general theory of quantum stochastic processes was formulated by Accardi, Frigerio and Lewis in 1982 within the operator-algebraic framework of quantum probability theory, as a non-commutative extension of the Kolmogorovian classical…
It is shown that under a certain condition on a semimartingale and a time-change, any stochastic integral driven by the time-changed semimartingale is a time-changed stochastic integral driven by the original semimartingale. As a direct…
In this thesis we study several features of the operatorial approach to classical mechanics pionereed by Koopman and von Neumann (KvN) in the Thirties. In particular in the first part we study the role of the phases of the KvN states. We…
The field of classical stochastic processes forms a major branch of mathematics. They are, of course, also very well studied in biology, chemistry, ecology, geology, finance, physics, and many more fields of natural and social sciences.…
We survey two decades of work on the (sequential) topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs (ordered and unordered), aiming to give an account that is unifying, elementary, and self-contained. We discuss the traditional…
A brief but complete historical survey of the theory of equilibrium figures from its early origins, dating back to 17th-century, until the latest 20th-century developments, with a view towards its applications, is carried out.
We develop the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism for classical field theory on generic globally hyperbolic spacetimes. A crucial aspect of our treatment is the incorporation of the principle of local covariance which amounts to formulate the…
The aim of this paper is to study the long-time dynamics of solutions of the evolution system \[ \begin{cases} u_{tt} - \Delta u + u + \eta(-\Delta)^{\frac{1}{2}}u_t + a_{\epsilon}(t)(-\Delta)^{\frac{1}{2}}v_t = f(u), & \; (x, t) \in \Omega…
We investigate the periodic and stationary solutions of distribution-dependent stochastic differential equations. While generally, the semigroups associated with the equations are nonlinear, we show that the methods of weak convergence and…
We have recently presented an extension of the standard variational calculus to include the presence of deformed derivatives in the Lagrangian of a system of particles and in the Lagrangian density of field-theoretic models. Classical…
The stochastic Kuramoto model defined on a sequence of graphs is analyzed: the emphasis is posed on the relationship between the mean field limit, the connectivity of the underlying graph and the long time behavior. We give an explicit…
This book is an extension of my doctoral dissertation, focusing on techniques for analyzing stability (dissipativity) and achieving stabilization of linear systems that are characterized by non-trivial distributed delays. It specifically…
We express covariance of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism in classical mechanics by means of the Maurer-Cartan equation in a curved Lie superalgebra, defined using the formal variational calculus and Sullivan's Thom-Whitney construction. We…
This article develops a variational formulation for the relativistic Klein-Gordon equation. The main results are obtained through an extension of the classical mechanics approach to a more general context, which in some sense, includes the…
We present a detailed account of the technical aspects of stochastic quantum molecular dynamics, an approach introduced recently by the authors [H. Appel and M. Di Ventra, Phys. Rev. B 80 212303 (2009)] to describe coupled electron-ion…
We have advocated in a previous paper (Godart M. arXiv: 1206.2917v2[quant-ph] ) a version of the stochastic theory of quantum mechanics. It is indirectly based on a method proposed by Nelson to associate a Markov process with any solution…
