Recently, Lobb and Nijhoff initiated the study of variational (Lagrangian) structure of discrete integrable systems from the perspective of multi-dimensional consistency. In the present work, we follow this line of research and develop a…
We follow up on our previous works which presented a possible approach for deriving symplectic schemes for a certain class of highly oscillatory Hamiltonian systems. The approach considers the Hamilton-Jacobi form of the equations of…

We develop a method for systematically constructing Lagrangian functions for dissipative mechanical, electrical and, mechatronic systems. We derive the equations of motion for some typical mechatronic systems using deterministic principles…

We propose to use the properties of the Lie algebra of the angular momentum to build symplectic integrators dedicated to the Hamiltonian of the free rigid body. By introducing a dependence of the coefficients of integrators on the moments…
In this work, the benefits of the phase fitting technique are embedded in high order discrete Lagrangian integrators. The proposed methodology creates integrators with zero phase lag in a test Lagrangian in a similar way used in phase…
Symplectic integration of autonomous Hamiltonian systems is a well-known field of study in geometric numerical integration, but for non-autonomous systems the situation is less clear, since symplectic structure requires an even number of…
Hamiltonian systems with linearly dependent constraints (irregular systems), are classified according to their behavior in the vicinity of the constraint surface. For these systems, the standard Dirac procedure is not directly applicable.…
In backward error analysis, an approximate solution to an equation is compared to the exact solution to a nearby modified equation. In numerical ordinary differential equations, the two agree up to any power of the step size. If the…
We develop a variational integrator for the shallow-water equations on a rotating sphere. The variational integrator is built around a discretization of the continuous Euler-Poincar\'{e} reduction framework for Eulerian hydrodynamics. We…
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…
The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between Hamiltonian dynamics and constrained variational calculus. We describe both using the notion of Lagrangian submanifolds of convenient symplectic manifolds and using the so-called…
The general topic of the present paper is to study the conservation for some structural property of a given problem when discretising this problem. Precisely we are interested with Lagrangian or Hamiltonian structures and thus with…
For the linearized setting of the dynamics of complex bodies we construct variational integrators and prove their convergence by making use of BV estimates on the rate fields. We allow for peculiar substructural inertia and internal…
Lagrangian duality in mixed integer optimization is a useful framework for problems decomposition and for producing tight lower bounds to the optimal objective, but in contrast to the convex counterpart, it is generally unable to produce…
This work is devoted to a systematic exposition of the dynamics of a rigid body, considered as a system with kinematic constraints. Having accepted the variational problem in accordance with this, we no longer need any additional postulates…
We propose a systematic framework for constructing geometric integrators for Hamiltonian systems on Jacobi manifolds. By combining Poissonization of Jacobi structures with homogeneous symplectic bi-realizations, Jacobi dynamics are lifted…
