Action-dependent field theories are systems where the Lagrangian or Hamiltonian depends on new variables that encode the action. They model a larger class of field theories, including non-conservative behavior, while maintaining a…
A geometric model for nonholonomic Lagrangian field theory is studied. The multisymplectic approach to such a theory as well as the corresponding Cauchy formalism are discussed. It is shown that in both formulations, the relevant equations…
The aim of this paper is to develop a constraint algorithm for singular classical field theories in the framework of $k$-cosymplectic geometry. Since these field theories are singular, we need to introduce the notion of $k$-precosymplectic…
It is well known that k-contact geometry is a suitable framework to deal with non-conservative field theories. In this paper, we study some relations between solutions of the k-contact Euler-Lagrange equations, symmetries, dissipation laws…
In this paper, we apply the geometric Hamilton--Jacobi theory to obtain solutions of classical hamiltonian systems that are either compatible with a cosymplectic or a contact structure. As it is well known, the first structure plays a…
We generalise the theories of cosymplectic, contact, and cocontact manifolds to the infinite-dimensional setting and calculate model examples of time-dependent and dissipative Hamiltonian systems.
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…
