The Separation of Variables theory for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is 'by definition' related to the use of special kinds of coordinates, for example Jacobi coordinates on the ellipsoid or St\"ackel systems in the Euclidean space. However,…
In this paper, both smooth subsonic and transonic flows to steady Euler-Poisson system in a concentric cylinder are studied. We first establish the existence of cylindrically symmetric smooth subsonic and transonic flows to steady…
A system of partial differential equations describing the spatial oscillations of an Euler-Bernoulli beam with a tip mass is considered. The linear system considered is actuated by two independent controls and separated into a pair of…
In a previous Letter, we showed that physical scattering observables for compact spinning objects in general relativity can depend on additional degrees of freedom in the spin tensor beyond those described by the spin vector alone. In this…
We introduce a new class of billiard-like system, ``bouncing outer billiards" which are 3-dimensional cousins of outer billiards of Neumann and Moser. We prove that bouncing outer billiard on a smooth convex body has at least four…
A non-autonomous flow system is introduced with an attractor of Plykin type that may serve as a base for elaboration of real systems and devices demonstrating the structurally stable chaotic dynamics. The starting point is a map on a…
This paper is a modern exposition of old ideas. The setting is a Euclidian space $E$ of dimension $n$ with associated vector space $V$ of dimension $n$. A (non-zero) sliding vector is a vector in $V$ that is free to move, but only within a…
Some dynamical properties of non interacting particles in a bouncer model are described. They move under gravity experiencing collisions with a moving platform. The evolution to steady state is described in two cases for dissipative…
In this paper, we present neural networks learning mechanical systems that are both symplectic (for instance particle mechanics) and non-symplectic (for instance rotating rigid body). Mechanical systems have Hamiltonian evolution, which…
We analyse the motion of a sphere that rolls without slipping on a conical surface having its axis in the direction of the constant gravitational field of the Earth. This nonholonomic system admits a solution in terms of quadratures. We…
We review here the quantum mechanics of some noncommutative theories in which no state saturates simultaneously all the non trivial Heisenberg uncertainty relations. We show how the difference of structure between the Poisson brackets and…
We consider the existence of a continuous set of mutually unbiased bases for the continuous and periodic degree of freedom that describes motion on a circle (rotor degree of freedom). By a singular mapping of the circle to the line, we find…
We review recent computational results for hexagon patterns in non-Boussinesq convection. For sufficiently strong dependence of the fluid parameters on the temperature we find reentrance of steady hexagons, i.e. while near onset the hexagon…
We consider the set of bimodal linear systems consisting of two linear dynamics acting on each side of a given hyperplane, assuming continuity along the separating hyperplane. Focusing on the unobservable planar ones, we obtain a simple…
Nonholonomic mechanical systems have been attracting more interest in recent years because of their rich geometric properties and their applications in Engineering. In all generality, we discuss the reduction of a Hamilton-Jacobi theory for…
The present work introduces a family of beam models derived from a three-dimensional higher-order elasticity framework. By incorporating three kinematic fields - the macroscopic displacement u, the micro-distortion tensor P, and the…
A class of n-dimensional Poisson systems reducible to an unperturbed harmonic oscillator shall be considered. In such case, perturbations leaving invariant a given symplectic leaf shall be investigated. Our purpose will be to analyze the…
Let G be a Lie group and g its Lie algebra. We develop a theory of quasi Poisson structures relative to a not necessarily non-degenerate Ad-invariant symmetric 2-tensor in the tensor square of g and one of general not necessarily…
The steady state motion of a folded pendulum has been studied using frequencies of drive that are mainly below the natural (resonance) frequency of the instrument. Although the free-decay of this mechanical oscillator appears textbook…
In this paper, we unearth symmetries of different types of a nonlinear non-polynomial oscillator. The symmetries which we report here are adjoint-symmetries, contact symmetries and telescopic vector fields. We also obtain Jacobi last…
