One main issue, when numerically integrating autonomous Hamiltonian systems, is the long-term conservation of some of its invariants, among which the Hamiltonian function itself. For example, it is well known that classical symplectic…
We prove the existence of nonradial solutions for the H\'enon equation in the ball with any given number of nodal zones, for arbitrary values of the exponent $\alpha$. For sign-changing solutions, the case $\alpha=0$ -- Lane-Emden equation…
We consider boundary value problems for semilinear hyperbolic systems of the type $$ \partial_tu_j + a_j(x,\la)\partial_xu_j + b_j(x,\la,u) = 0, \; x\in(0,1), \;j=1,\dots,n $$ with smooth coefficient functions $a_j$ and $b_j$ such that…

This paper considers systems subject to nonholonomic constraints which are not uniform on the whole configuration manifold. When the constraints change, the system undergoes a transition in order to comply with the new imposed conditions.…
