We propose a new classical approach for describing a system composed of $n$ interacting particles with variable mass connected by a single field with no predefined form ($n$-VMVF systems). Instead of assuming any particular nature or…
One of the difficulties encountered when studying physical theories in discrete space-time is that of describing the underlying continuous symmetries (like Lorentz, or Galilei invariance). One of the ways of addressing this difficulty is to…
A new method is presented for obtaining indefinite integrals of common special functions. The approach is based on a Lagrangian formulation of the general homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation of second order. A general integral…
In the framework of the Lagrangian field theory, we derive a type of new non-classical natural boundary condition to be correlated with the mean curvature of boundary surface. Under the condition of homogeneity and isotropy, this type of…
We develop a time-non-local (TNL) formalism based on variational calculus, which allows for the analysis of TNL Lagrangians. We derive the generalized Euler-Lagrange equations starting from the Hamilton's principle and, by defining a…
This article is devoted to finding classical point-particle equivalents for the fermion sector of the nonminimal Standard-Model Extension (SME). For a series of nonminimal operators, such Lagrangians are derived at first order in Lorentz…
The aim of the paper is to study some dynamic aspects coming from a tangent form, i.e. a time dependent differential form on a tangent bundle. The action on curves of a tangent form is natural associated with that of a second order…
We study non-conservative like SODEs admitting explicit Lagrangian descriptions. Such systems are equivalent to the system of Lagrange equations of some Lagrangian $L$, including a covariant force field which represents non-conservative…
In this paper, we present a Lagrangian formalism for nonequilibrium thermodynamics. This formalism is an extension of the Hamilton principle in classical mechanics that allows the inclusion of irreversible phenomena in both discrete and…
We generate hierarchies of derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger-type equations and their nonlocal extensions from Lie algebra splittings and automorphisms. This provides an algebraic explanation of some known reductions and newly established…
Lie's linearizability criteria for scalar second-order ordinary differential equations had been extended to systems of second-order ordinary differential equations by using geometric methods. These methods not only yield the linearizing…
The main purpose of the paper is to demonstrate that condition of invariance with respect to the Legendre transformations allows effectively isolate the class of integrable difference equations on the triangular lattice, which can be…
We derive a Liouville type result for special Lagrangian equations with certain "convexity" and restricted linear growth assumptions on the solutions.
The Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian is not only a topic of fundamental interest, but also has a rich variety of diverse applications in astrophysics, nonlinear optics and elementary particle physics etc. We discuss the series representation of…
We prove an existence theorem for positive solutions to Lichnerowicz-type equations on complete manifolds with boundary and nonlinear Neumann conditions. This kind of nonlinear problems arise quite naturally in the study of solutions for…
It is well known that Lagrangian dynamical systems naturally arise in describing wave front dynamics in the limit of short waves (which is called pseudoclassical limit or limit of geometrical optics). Wave fronts are the surfaces of…
Use of certain non-commuting variables is considered in first-order differential equations. Superspace variables are discussed within the setting of first-order ordinary differential equations and n-ary algebras. Results on quadratic…
We investigate the connection between the linear harmonic oscillator equation and some classes of second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations of Li\'enard and generalized Li\'enard type, which physically describe important…
Any local field theory can be equivalently reformulated in the so-called unfolded form. General unfolded equations are non-Lagrangian even though the original theory is Lagrangian. Using the theory of a scalar field as a basic example, the…
Special relativity beyond its basic treatment can be inaccessible, in particular because introductory physics courses typically view special relativity as decontextualized from the rest of physics. We seek to place special relativity back…
