First-class constraints constitute a potential obstacle to the computation of a Poisson bracket in Dirac's theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems. Using the pseudoinverse instead of the inverse of the matrix defined by the Poisson…

We first consider the Hamiltonian formulation of $n=3$ systems in general and show that all dynamical systems in ${\mathbb R}^3$ are bi-Hamiltonian. An algorithm is introduced to obtain Poisson structures of a given dynamical system. We…

A family of solutions of the Jacobi PDEs is investigated. This family is $n$-dimensional, of arbitrary nonlinearity and can be globally analyzed (thus improving the usual local scope of Darboux theorem). As an outcome of this analysis it is…

We construct Poisson structures for Ermakov systems, using the Ermakov invariant as the Hamiltonian. Two classes of Poisson structures are obtained, one of them degenerate, in which case we derive the Casimir functions. In some situations,…

In this paper, we consider Hamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type and some of their generalizations. In particular, we discuss the questions concerning the structure and special forms of the corresponding Poisson brackets and the…

We present a general classification of Hamiltonian multivector fields and of Poisson forms on the extended multiphase space appearing in the geometric formulation of first order classical field theories. This is a prerequisite for computing…

Borisov, Mamaev and Kilin have recently found certain Poisson structures with respect to which the reduced and rescaled systems of certain non-holonomic problems, involving rolling bodies without slipping, become Hamiltonian, the…

A systematic investigation of the skew-symmetric solutions of the three-dimensional Jacobi equations is presented. As a result, three disjoint and complementary new families of solutions are characterized. Such families are very general,…

Given a first order dynamical system possessing a commutative algebra of dynamical symmetries, we show that, under certain conditions, there exists a Poisson structure on an open neighbourhood of its regular (not necessarily compact)…

Generalizing a construction of P. Vanhaecke, we introduce a large class of degenerate (i.e., associated to a degenerate Poisson bracket) completely integrable systems on (a dense subset of) the space $\R^{2d+n+1}$, called the generalized…

The problem of characterizing all new-time transformations preserving the Poisson structure of a finitedimensional Poisson system is completely solved in a constructive way. As a corollary, this leads to a broad generalization of previously…

In this paper we study the problem of Hamiltonization of nonholonomic systems from a geometric point of view. We use gauge transformations by 2-forms (in the sense of Severa and Weinstein [29]) to construct different almost Poisson…

An alternative derivation is presented of the infinitely many exceptional Wilson and Askey-Wilson polynomials, which were introduced by the present authors in 2009. Darboux-Crum transformations intertwining the discrete quantum mechanical…

Darboux's theorem and Jouanolou's theorem deal with the existence of first integrals and rational first integrals of a polynomial vector field. These results are given in terms of the degree of the polynomial vector field. Here we show that…

We introduce a natural class of multicomponent local Poisson structures $\mathcal P_k + \mathcal P_1$, where $\mathcal P_1$ is a local Poisson bracket of order one and $\mathcal P_k$ is a homogeneous Poisson bracket of odd order $k$ under…

Constrained Hamiltonian systems fall into the realm of presymplectic geometry. We show, however, that also Poisson geometry is of use in this context. For the case that the constraints form a closed algebra, there are two natural Poisson…
