Hidden symmetries in a covariant Hamiltonian formulation are investigated involving gauge covariant equations of motion. The special role of the Stackel-Killing tensors is pointed out. A reduction procedure is used to reduce the original…
"Sticky" motion in mixed phase space of conservative systems is difficult to detect and to characterize, in particular for high dimensional phase spaces. Its effect on quasi-regular motion is quantified here with four different measures,…
