After recalling standard nonlinear port-Hamiltonian systems and their algebraic constraint equations, called here Dirac algebraic constraints, an extended class of port-Hamiltonian systems is introduced. This is based on replacing the…

We introduce a notion of compatibility between (almost) Dirac structures and (1,1)-tensor fields extending that of Poisson-Nijenhuis structures. We study several properties of the "Dirac-Nijenhuis" structures thus obtained, including their…

In this paper, we cast damped Timoshenko and damped Bresse systems into a general framework for non-equilibrium thermodynamics, namely the GENERIC (General Equation for Non-Equilibrium Reversible-Irreversible Coupling) framework. The main…

We present the Dirac equation in a geometry with torsion and non-metricity balancing generality and simplicity as much as possible. In doing so, we use the vielbein formalism and the Clifford algebra. We also use an index-free formalism…

We extend Hamilton-Jacobi theory to Lagrange-Dirac (or implicit Lagrangian) systems, a generalized formulation of Lagrangian mechanics that can incorporate degenerate Lagrangians as well as holonomic and nonholonomic constraints. We refer…

In this work, we conduct a systematic study of Hamiltonian and quasi-Hamiltonian systems within the framework of nondecomposable generalized Poisson geometry. Our focus lies on the interplay between the algebraic structure of…

Jacobi structures are known to generalize Poisson structures, encompassing symplectic, cosymplectic, and Lie-Poisson manifolds. Notably, other intriguing geometric structures -- such as contact and locally conformal symplectic manifolds --…

This review article intends to introduce the reader to non-integrable geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds and invariant metric connections with torsion, and to discuss recent aspects of mathematical physics--in particular…

We analyse a modified Dirac equation based on a noncommutative structure in phase space. The noncommutative structure induces generalised momenta and contributions to the energy levels of the standard Dirac equation. Using techniques of…

The dynamical motion of mechanical systems possesses underlying geometric structures, and preserving these structures in numerical integration improves the qualitative accuracy and reduces the long-time error of the simulation. For a single…

Let $(G\rr P, \mathsf D_G)$ be a Dirac groupoid. We show that there are natural Lie algebroid structures on the units $\lie A(\mathsf D_G)$ and on the core $I^\tg(\mathsf D_G)$ of the multiplicative Dirac structure. In the Poisson case, the…

We consider the concept of Stokes-Dirac structures in boundary control theory proposed by van der Schaft and Maschke. We introduce Poisson reduction in this context and show how Stokes-Dirac structures can be derived through symmetry…

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…
