The purpose of this paper is to explore, in a space of four-dimensions, the possible forms that second-order, bi-scalar-vector-tensor field equations derivable from a variational principle can assume. In order to restrict this enormous…
We calculate certain estimates for the solution of the characteristic problem of the wave equation reduced to first order, in terms of the free data prescribed on two transverse surfaces, one of which is characteristic. Estimates of such…
We examine a logical foundation of depicting a Lorentz contraction of a Coulomb field (an electric field of a point charge in uniform motion) by means of the 'Lorentz contracted' field lines. Two existing arguments for a contraction of…
Lagrangian formulation of quantum mechanical Schr\"odinger equation is developed in general and illustrated in the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian and in the coordinate representation. The Lagrangian formulation of physically plausible…
In this paper, we are concerned with arbitrarily high-order momentum-preserving and energy-preserving schemes for solving the generalized Rosenau-type equation, respectively. The derivation of the momentum-preserving schemes is made within…

We state a unified geometrical version of the variational principles for second-order classical field theories. The standard Lagrangian and Hamiltonian variational principles and the corresponding field equations are recovered from this…
We show the consistent interactions in the generalized electrodynamics gauge theory with higher derivative matter fields by means of the order reduction method. We deduce the BRST deformations in the reduced Lagrangian and using the…
We construct a first order Lagrangian formalism for bimetric theories with an interaction which is a general function of metrics and their derivatives, including non-analytic functions. The first-order actions are fully equivalent to the…
Starting from a theory of heavy particles and antiparticles, the path integral formulation of an effective field theory which describes the low momentum interactions is presented. The heavy degrees of freedom are identified and explicitly…
I propose a prescription for separating the high- and low-energy contributions in effective field theories. This prescription allows a relativistic treatment of matter fields in chiral perturbation theory while the power counting remains…
We introduce a new form of Lagrangian and propose a simple first-order algorithm for nonconvex optimization with nonlinear equality constraints. We show the algorithm generates bounded dual iterates, and establish the convergence to KKT…
Recently different formulations of the first-order Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model have been identified in different coordinates and state variables. However, there exists no systematic method to convert higher-order continuum models…
A Lagrangian treatment of the quantization of first class Hamiltonian systems with constraints and Hamiltonian linear and quadratic in the momenta respectively is performed. The ``first reduce and then quantize'' and the ``first quantize…
The relation between symmetries and conservation laws for solitons in a ferromagnet is complicated by the presence of gyroscopic (precessional) forces, whose description in the Lagrangian framework involves a background gauge field. This…
Lagrangian perturbation theory for cosmological fluid describes structure formation in the quasi-nonlinear stage well. In a previous paper, we presented a third-order perturbative equation for Lagrangian perturbation with pressure. There we…
We explicitly calculate one-loop divergences for an arbitrary field theory model using the higher derivative regularization and nonsingular gauge condition. They are shown to agree with the results found in the dimensional regularization…
Since fields in the heavy quark effective theory are described by both a velocity and a residual momentum, there is redundancy in the theory: small shifts in velocity may be absorbed into a redefinition of the residual momentum. We…
The field equations in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory are derived from a Lagrangian density using a first-order formalism. Using the general covariance of the Lagrangian density, conservation laws and tensor identities are derived.…
