For many applications, critical information about system dynamics is encoded in associated eigenvalue problems that can be posed as linear Hamiltonian systems with suitable boundary conditions. Motivated by examples from hydrodynamics,…
We extend the definition of the Maslov index to a broad class of non-Hamiltonian dynamical systems. To do this, we introduce a family of topological spaces--which we call Maslov-Arnold spaces--that share key topological features with the…
Morse index theory provides an elegant and useful tool for describing several aspects of a Lagrangian system in terms of its variational properties. In the classical framework it provides an equality between the spectral properties of a…

The aim of the present work is to generalize the results given in |81] to a generic situation for causal geodesics. It is argued that these results may be of interest for causality issues. Recall that the presence of superluminal signals in…
We propose a topological theory of the Maslov index for lagrangian and symplectic paths based on a minimal system of axioms. We recover, as particular cases, the Hoermander and the Robbin-Salomon indices.
In this article we formulate and prove sufficient conditions for the existence of trajectories of nonstationary periodic solutions of autonomous Hamiltonian systems in a neighbourhood of equilibria. It is worth pointing out that assumptions…
