This paper extends the theory of controlled Hamiltonian systems with symmetries due to [9, 10, 6, 7, 11] to the case of non-abelian symmetry groups $G$. The notion of symmetry actuating forces is introduced and it is shown, that Hamiltonian…

We study the irreversible dynamics of nonlinear, nonintegrable Hamiltonian oscillator chains approaching their statistical asympotic states. In systems constrained by more than one conserved quantity, the partitioning of the conserved…

We exhibit many examples of closed symplectic manifolds on which there is an autonomous Hamiltonian whose associated flow has no nonconstant periodic orbits (the only previous explicit example in the literature was the torus T^2n (n\geq 2)…

The study of fixed points is a classical subject in geometry and dynamics. If the circle acts in a Hamiltonian fashion on a compact symplectic manifold M, then it is classically known that there are at least 1 + dim(M)/2 fixed points; this…

We study the dynamics and symplectic topology of energy hypersurfaces of mechanical Hamiltonians on twisted cotangent bundles. We pay particular attention to periodic orbits, displaceability, stability and the contact type property, and the…

For a class of flows on polytopes, including many examples from Evolutionary Game Theory, we describe a piecewise linear model which encapsulates the asymptotic dynamics along the heteroclinic network formed out of the polytope's vertexes…

This paper presents a method for learning Hamiltonian dynamics from a limited set of data points. The Hamiltonian vector field is found by regularized optimization over a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of vector fields that are inherently…

Symplectic integrators are widely used for long-term integration of conservative astrophysical problems due to their ability to preserve the constants of motion; however, they cannot in general be applied in the presence of nonconservative…

We prove that for a certain class of closed monotone symplectic manifolds any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with a hyperbolic fixed point must necessarily have infinitely many periodic orbits. Among the manifolds in this class are complex…

The model of cylindrical gravitational waves is employed to work out and check a recent proposal in Ref. [11] how a diffeomorphism-invariant Hamiltonian dynamics is to be constructed. The starting point is the action by Ashtekar and Pierri…

This thesis deals with the formulation and analysis of two systems of conservation laws defined on two complementary intervals and coupled by some moving interface as a single infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian system. This approach may…

Contraction theory for dynamical systems on Euclidean spaces is well-established. For contractive (resp. semi-contractive) systems, the distance (resp. semi-distance) between any two trajectories decreases exponentially fast. For partially…

We study the asymptotic dynamics of maps which are piecewise contracting on a compact space. These maps are Lipschitz continuous, with Lipschitz constant smaller than one, when restricted to any piece of a finite and dense union of disjoint…

Let the circle act symplectically on a compact, connected symplectic manifold $M$. If there are exactly three fixed points, $M$ is equivariantly symplectomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^2$.

In this article, we study the stability and large time behavior for an multi-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamical system with a velocity damping term, for small perturbations near a steady-state of magnetic field fulfilling the…

By complexifying a Hamiltonian system one obtains dynamics on a holomorphic symplectic manifold. To invert this construction we present a theory of real forms which not only recovers the original system but also yields different real…

Topological dynamics constitutes the study of asymptotic properties of orbits under flows or maps on the Hausdorff phase space. Hyperbolic dynamics is the study of differentiable flows or maps that are usually characterized by the presence…

Optimization tasks are crucial in statistical machine learning. Recently, there has been great interest in leveraging tools from dynamical systems to derive accelerated and robust optimization methods via suitable discretizations of…

The aim of this paper is to study dynamical and topological properties of a flow in the region of influence of an isolated non-saddle set. We see, in particular, that some topological conditions are sufficient to guarantee that these sets…

We propose a conservative two-dimensional particle model in which particles carry a continuous and classical spin. The model includes standard ferromagnetic interactions between spins of two different particles, and a nonstandard coupling…
