For a time-dependent classical quadratic oscillator we introduce pairs of real and complex invariants that are linear in position and momentum. Each pair of invariants realize explicitly a canonical transformation from the phase space to…

We show that if a Lagrangian is invariant under a transformation (with the invariance defined in the standard manner), then the equations of motion obtained from it maintain their form under the transformation. We also show that the…

In this paper we have chosen to work with two different approaches to solving the inverse problem of the calculus of variation. The first approach is based on an integral representation of the Lagrangian function that uses the first…

We compute explicitly the equations of motion of the Hamiltonian formulation of quadratic gravity. This is the theory with the most general Lagrangian with terms of quadratic order in the curvature tensor. We employ the symbolic…

Here it is shown that the unitary dynamics of a quantum object may be obtained as the conditional expectation of a counting process of object-clock interactions. Such a stochastic process arises from the quantization of the clock, and this…

We derive lattice invariants from the heat flux of a lattice. Using systems of harmonic polynomials, we obtain sums of products of spherical theta functions which give new invariants of integer lattices which are modular forms. In…

We have developed a formalism to get the time evolution of the eigen states of Rindler Hamiltonian in momentum space. We have shown the difficulties with characteristic curves, and re-cast the time evolution equations in the form of…

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…

The long-term evolution of astrophysical systems is driven by a Hamiltonian that is independent of the fast angle. As this Hamiltonian may contain explicitly time-dependent parameters, the conservation of mechanical energy is not guaranteed…

In non-degenerate integrable Hamiltonian systems, invariant tori can be parameterized equivalently by action variables or by their fundamental frequencies. We introduce an invariant-flow formulation for extracting fundamental frequencies of…

Noether's theorem in the realm of point dynamics establishes the correlation of a constant of motion of a Hamilton-Lagrange system with a particular symmetry transformation that preserves the form of the action functional. Although usually…

The aim of this work is to show that particle mechanics, both classical and quantum, Hamiltonian and Lagrangian, can be derived from few simple physical assumptions. Assuming deterministic and reversible time evolution will give us a…

We present a method to study the time variation of the orbital parameters of a Post-Keplerian binary system undergoing a generic external perturbation. The method is the relativistic extension of the planetary Lagrangian equations. The…

Ermakov systems possessing Noether point symmetry are identified among the Ermakov systems that derive from a Lagrangian formalism and, the Ermakov invariant is shown to result from an associated symmetry of dynamical character. The Ermakov…
