We consider a class of finite-dimensional dynamical systems whose equations of motion are derived from a non-local-in-time action principle. The action functional has a zeroth order piece derived from a local Hamiltonian and a perturbation…

We discuss the dynamics of a particular two-dimensional (2D) physical system in the four dimensional (4D) (non-)commutative phase space by exploiting the consistent Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalisms based on the symplectic structures…

I consider Lagrangians which depend nonlocally in time but in such a way that there is no mixing between times differing by more than some finite value $\Delta t$. By considering these systems as the limits of ever higher derivative…

We discuss a classical nonlinear oscillator, which is proved to be a superintegrable system for which the bounded motions are quasiperiodic oscillations and the unbounded (scattering) motions are represented by hyperbolic functions. This…

Lagrangian multiform theory is a variational framework for integrable systems. In this article we introduce a new formulation which is based on symplectic geometry and which treats position, momentum and time coordinates of a…
