This paper is a continuation of our study of the dynamics of contact Hamiltonian systems in \cite{JY}, but without monotonicity assumption. Due to the complexity of general cases, we focus on the behavior of action minimizing orbits. We…

We study the practical scope of the $k$-contact Hamilton--De Donder--Weyl formalism as a geometric framework for dissipative field equations. In particular, our work focuses on canonical $k$-contact manifolds on $\bigoplus^k {\rm…

In this paper we generalize to coisotropic actions of compact Lie groups a theorem of Guillemin on deformations of Hamiltonian structures on compact symplectic manifolds. We show how one can reconstruct from the moment polytope the…

This paper concentrates on optical Hamiltonian systems of $T*\T^n$, i.e. those for which $\Hpp$ is a positive definite matrix, and their relationship with symplectic twist maps. We present theorems of decomposition by symplectic twist maps…

Contact Hamiltonian systems extend symplectic Hamiltonian mechanics to dissipative settings while retaining geometric structure. We develop a structure-preserving splitting framework for contact Hamiltonian systems on $J^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$…

In this paper we propose a Hamilton-Jacobi theory for implicit contact Hamiltonian systems in two different ways. One is the understanding of implicit contact Hamiltonian dynamics as a Legendrian submanifold of the tangent contact space,…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of globally minimizing orbits of contact Hamiltonian systems. Under some assumptions, we prove that the $\omega$-limit set of globally minimizing orbits is contained in the set of semi-static…

By complexifying a Hamiltonian system one obtains dynamics on a holomorphic symplectic manifold. To invert this construction we present a theory of real forms which not only recovers the original system but also yields different real…

We prove that a topological contact isotopy uniquely defines a topological contact Hamiltonian. Combined with previous results from [MS11], this generalizes the classical one-to-one correspondence between smooth contact isotopies and their…

Using the framework of metriplectic systems on $\R^n$ we will describe a constructive geometric method to add a dissipation term to a Hamilton-Poisson system such that any solution starting in a neighborhood of a nonlinear stable…

In this paper we address the problem of identifying contracting systems among dynamical systems appearing in mechanics. First, we introduce a sufficient condition to identify contracting systems in a general Riemannian manifold. Then, we…

Hamiltonian systems are differential equations which describe systems in classical mechanics, plasma physics, and sampling problems. They exhibit many structural properties, such as a lack of attractors and the presence of conservation…

We consider Hamiltonian systems restricted to the hypersurfaces of contact type and obtain a partial version of the Arnold-Liouville theorem: the system not need to be integrable on the whole phase space, while the invariant hypersurface is…
