A variational formulation for nonequilibrium thermodynamics was recently proposed in \cite{GBYo2017a,GBYo2017b} for both discrete and continuum systems. This formulation extends the Hamilton principle of classical mechanics to include…
A small deformation controlled by four free parameters to the Schwarzschild metric could be referred to a nonspinning black hole solution in alternative theories of gravity. Because such a non-Schwarzschild metric can be changed into a…
Accelerated gradient methods have had significant impact in machine learning -- in particular the theoretical side of machine learning -- due to their ability to achieve oracle lower bounds. But their heuristic construction has hindered…
In a previous paper, second- and fourth-order explicit symplectic integrators were designed for a Hamiltonian of the Schwarzschild black hole. Following this work, we continue to trace the possibility of the construction of explicit…
We prove the invariant of the symplectic capacity for the Zakharov system on a torus. If the Zakharov solution map is well-defined, then it can be regarded as a symplectomorphism. Thus, we first show the global well-posedness via the local…
We present a brief tutorial on the nuts and bolts computation of a multisymplectic particle-in-cell algorithm using the discretized Lagrangian approach. This approach, originated by Marsden, Shadwick, and others, brings the benefits of…
Measure-theoretic slow entropy is a more refined invariant than the classical measure-theoretic entropy to characterize the complexity of dynamical systems with subexponential growth rates of distinguishable orbit types. In this paper we…
Many PDEs (Burgers' equation, KdV, Camassa-Holm, Euler's fluid equations,...) can be formulated as infinite-dimensional Lie-Poisson systems. These are Hamiltonian systems on manifolds equipped with Poisson brackets. The Poisson structure is…
The goal of the paper is to develop a systematic approach to the study of (perhaps degenerate) singularities of integrable systems and their structural stability. As the main tool, we use "hidden" system-preserving torus actions near…
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is a Markov chain Monte Carlo method that allows to sample high dimensional probability measures. It relies on the integration of the Hamiltonian dynamics to propose a move which is then accepted or rejected…
Symmetry is often treated in philosophy of physics as an interpretive problem. A particularly lively dispute concerns local symmetries: do they indicate surplus structure that ought to be expunged, or are they merely a harmless redundancy?…
Using a combination of high-level ab initio electronic structure methods with efficient on-the-fly semiclassical evaluation of nuclear dynamics, we performed a massive scan of small polyatomic molecules searching for a long lasting…
We study symplectic numerical integration of mechanical systems with a Hamiltonian specified in non-canonical coordinates and its application to guiding-center motion of charged plasma particles in magnetic confinement devices. The…
We develop structure-preserving time integration schemes for Gaussian wave packet dynamics associated with the magnetic Schr\"odinger equation. The variational Dirac--Frenkel formulation yields a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian system for…
A novel, conservative discontinuous Galerkin algorithm is presented for particle kinetics on manifolds. The motion of particles on the manifold is represented using using both canonical and non-canonical Hamiltonian formulations. Our…
A symplectic, symmetric, second-order scheme is constructed for particle evolution in a time-dependent field with a fixed spatial step. The scheme is implemented in one space dimension and tested, showing excellent adequacy to experiment…
Orbital advection is a significant bottleneck in disk simulations, and a particularly tricky one when used in connection with magnetohydrodynamics. We have developed an orbital advection algorithm suitable for the induction equation with…
The Symplectic Pontryagin method was introduced in a previous paper. This work shows that this method is applicable under less restrictive assumptions. Existence of solutions to the Symplectic Pontryagin scheme are shown to exist without…
