Models of cosmological scalar fields often feature "attractor solutions" to which the system evolves for a wide range of initial conditions. There is some tension between this well-known fact and another well-known fact: Liouville's theorem…
We study the relationship between the equations of first order Lagrangian field theory on fiber bundles and the covariant Hamilton equations on the finite-dimensional polysymplectic phase space of covariant Hamiltonian field theory. The…
We study a two-parameter family of one-dimensional maps and related (a,b)-continued fractions suggested for consideration by Don Zagier. We prove that the associated natural extension maps have attractors with finite rectangular structure…
Although conservative Hamiltonian systems with constraints can be formulated in terms of Dirac structures, a more general framework is necessary to cover also dissipative systems such as gradient and metriplectic systems with constraints.…
We consider a generalization of the quintessence type scalar field cosmological models, by adding a multiplicative dissipative term in the scalar field Lagrangian, which is represented in an exponential form. The generalized dissipative…
We consider position-dependent mass (PDM) Lagrangians/Hamiltonians in their standard textbook form, where the long-standing \emph{gain-loss balance} between the kinetic and potential energies is kept intact to allow conservation of total…
Certain dissipative physical systems closely resemble Hamiltonian systems in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, but with the canonical equation for one of the variables in each conjugate pair rescaled by a real parameter. To generalise these dynamical…
We prove the integrability and superintegrability of a family of natural Hamiltonians which includes and generalises those studied in some literature, originally defined on the 2D Minkowski space. Some of the new Hamiltonians are a perfect…
We consider a class of non-conformal expanding maps on the $d$-dimensional torus. For an equilibrium measure of an H\"older potential, we prove an analogue of the Central Limit Theorem for the fluctuations of the logarithm of the measure of…
In this article we investigate the fragility of invariant Lagrangian graphs for dissipative maps, focusing on their destruction under small perturbations. Inspired by Herman's work on conservative systems, we prove that all $C^0$-invariant…
Birkhoff normal form is a power series expansion associated with the local behavior of the Hamiltonian systems near a critical point. It is known to be convergent for integrable systems under some non-degeneracy conditions. By means of an…
We study the constrained Ostrogradski-Hamilton framework for the equations of motion provided by mechanical systems described by second-order derivative actions with a linear dependence in the accelerations. We stress out the peculiar…
We study an inflation mechanism based on attractor properties in cosmological evolutions of a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime based on the Einstein-scalar field theory. We find a new way to get the Hamilton-Jacobi…
The Lagrange identity expresses the second derivative of the moment of inertia of a system of material points through kinetic energy and homogeneous potential energy, from which follows the Jacobi well-known result on the instability of a…
The aim of this paper is to study the finite-dimensional approximations of the nonautonomous lattice dynamical systems of the form $u_{i}'=\nu (u_{i-1}-2u_i+u_{i+1})-\lambda u_{i}+F(u_i)+f_{i}(t)\ (i\in \mathbb Z)\ (*)$. We show that the…
We prove a new Hamiltonian extension and consequently a fragmentation result in dimension $4$ for the symplectic manifold $\mathbb{D}^{2}\times \mathbb{D}^{2}$. Polterovich and Shelukhin have recently constructed a family of functionals on…
In this paper a new supersymmetric extension of conformal mechanics is put forward. The beauty of this extension is that all variables have a clear geometrical meaning and the super-Hamiltonian turns out to be the Lie-derivative of the…
We provide a complete classification of all the ways the Pais-Uhlenbeck osicllator might be embedded in two dimensional space. We discuss the Bi-Hamiltonian structures of this model, and examine how alternative Hamiltonian structures might…
In this paper we study the geometry of the attractors of holomorphic maps with an irrationally indifferent fixed point. We prove that for an open set of such holomorphic systems, the local attractor at the fixed point has Hausdorff…
We have recently presented an extension of the standard variational calculus to include the presence of deformed derivatives in the Lagrangian of a system of particles and in the Lagrangian density of field-theoretic models. Classical…
