We discuss the dynamics of single particle by laying a hypothesis that the Hamilton's principle of stationary action is not exact. We then postulate that the deviation of the action with sufficiently short time interval from the stationary…
The imprints left by quantum mechanics in classical (Hamiltonian) mechanics are much more numerous than is usually believed. We show Using no physical hypotheses) that the Schroedinger equation for a nonrelativistic system of spinless…
Information-theoretic arguments are used to obtain a link between the accurate linearity of Schrodinger's equation and Lorentz invariance: A possible violation of the latter at short distances would imply the appearance of nonlinear…

Here I show that a classical or quantum bit state plus one simple operation, an action, are sufficient ingredients to derive a quantum dynamical equation that rules the sequential changes of the state. Then, by assuming that a freely moving…
We present basic results, known and new, on nontrivial solutions of periodic stationary nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. We also sketch an application to nonlinear optics and discuss some open problems.
Using a nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the wave function of all systems, continuous transitions between quantum and classical motions are demonstrated for (i) the double-slit set up, (ii) the 2D harmonic oscillator and (iii) the…
The model of a bicycle is a unit segment AB that can move in the plane so that it remains tangent to the trajectory of point A (the rear wheel is fixed on the bicycle frame); the same model describes the hatchet planimeter. The trajectory…
We extend the well-known trace formula for Hill's equation to general one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators. The new function $\xi$, which we introduce, is used to study absolutely continuous spectrum and inverse problems.
This work is divided into two parts. First, we analyze the existence of positive bound and ground states for a second order stationary system coming from a coupled system of nonlinear Schr\"odinger--Korteweg-de Vries equations. Second, we…

A bivertical classical field theory include the Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell's electromagnetic field theory as the special cases. This unification allows to recognize the formal analogies among the notions of Newtonian mechanics and…
Recently, a remarkable correspondence has been unveiled between a certain class of ordinary linear differential equations (ODE) and integrable models. In the first part of the report, we survey the results concerning the 2nd order…
The evolute of a plane curve is the envelope of its normals. Replacing the normals by the lines that make a fixed angle with the curve yields a new curve, called the evolutoid. We prefer the term ``skew evolute", and we study the geometry…
This short note is intended to review the foundations of mechanics, trying to present them with the greatest mathematical and conceptual clarity. It was attempted to remove most of inessential, even parasitic issues, which can hide the true…
We present analytic formulae that simplify the evaluation of the normalization of continuous spectrum stationary states in the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation.
The purpose of this note is to give a number of open problems on matching theory and their relation to the well-known results in this area. We also give a linear analogue of the acyclic matchings.
The paper concerns a simple model of bicycle kinematics: a bicycle is represented by an oriented segment of constant length in n-dimensional space that can move in such a way that the velocity of its rear end is aligned with the segment…
