Consider a random three-coordinate lattice of spherical topology having 2v vertices and being densely covered by a single closed, self-avoiding walk, i.e. being equipped with a Hamiltonian cycle. We determine the number of such objects as a…
This paper presents a convexity analysis for the dynamic snake model based on the Potential Energy functional and the Hamiltonian formulation of the classical mechanics. First we see the snake model as a dynamical system whose singular…
A section of a Hamiltonian system is a hypersurface in the phase space of the system, usually representing a set of one-sided constraints (e.g. a boundary, an obstacle or a set of admissible states). In this paper we give local…
This paper concerns the existence of multiple rotating periodic solutions for $2n$ dimensional convex Hamiltonian systems. For the symplectic orthogonal matrix $Q$, the rotating periodic solution has the form of $z(t+T)=Qz(t)$, which might…
We propose a geometric framework where dispersion relations are viewed as parametric surfaces in energy-momentum space. Within this picture, the presence and type of critical points of the surface emerge as clear geometric signatures of…
Nonholonomic systems are variational models commonly used for mechanical systems with ideal no-slip constraints. This note provides a differential-geometric derivation of the nonholonomic equations of motion for an arbitrary rigid body…
The states of a planar oscillator are separated to a vibrational mode, containing a zero-point energy, and a rotational mode without the zero-point energy, but having a conserved angular momentum. On the basis of the analysis of properties…

Complete Lyapunov functions for a dynamical system, given by an autonomous ordinary differential equation, are scalar-valued functions that are strictly decreasing along orbits outside the chain-recurrent set. In this paper we show that we…
We classify and expose all the gradient Ricci solitons on complete surfaces, open or closed, with curvature bounded below, and possibly with a discrete set of cone-like singular points that arise naturally. We give a precise qualitative…
We review the current status of one dimensional periodic potentials and also present several new results. It is shown that using the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, one can considerably enlarge the limited class of…
We consider magnetic Tonelli Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of the 2-sphere, where the magnetic form is not necessarily exact. It is known that, on very low and on high energy levels, these systems may have only finitely many…
The hamiltonian circuit polytope is the convex hull of feasible solutions for the circuit constraint, which provides a succinct formulation of the traveling salesman and other sequencing problems. We study the polytope by establishing its…
A periodic connection is constructed for a double well potential defined in the plane. This solution violates Modica's estimate as well as the corresponding Liouville Theorem for general phase transition potentials. Gradient estimates are…
Level-set methods for convex optimization are predicated on the idea that certain problems can be parameterized so that their solutions can be recovered as the limiting process of a root-finding procedure. This idea emerges time and again…
We attempt to get a polynomial solution to the inverse problem, that is, to determine the form of the mechanical Hamiltonian when given the energy spectrum and transition dipole moment matrix. Our approach is to determine the potential in…
What is the analogue of L\'evy processes for random surfaces? Motivated by scaling limits of random planar maps in random geometry, we introduce and study L\'evy looptrees and L\'evy maps. They are defined using excursions of general L\'evy…

The problem considered first by I. Newton (1687) consists in finding a surface of the minimal frontal resistance in a parallel flow of non-interacting point particles. The standard formulation assumes that the surface is convex with a given…
