The goal of this note is to give the explicit solution of Euler-Frahm equations for the Manakov four-dimensional case by elementary means. For this, we use some results from the original papers by Schottky [Sch 1891], Koetter [Koe 1892],…
The complete variables separation is given for one Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom arising in the motion of the Kowalevski type top in two constant fields.
We present a systematic way of derivation of the algebraic curves of separation of variables for the classical Kovalevskaya top and its generalizations, starting from the spectral curve of the corresponding Lax representation found by…
A polynomial deformation of the Kowalewski top is considered. This deformation includes as a degeneration a new integrable case for the Kirchhoff equations found recently by one of the authors. A $5\times 5$ matrix Lax pair for the deformed…
We present a simple method to obtain the solution of a few orbital problems: the Kepler problem, the modified Kepler problem by the addition of an inverse square potential and linear force.
In this work we consider a simple, approximate, tending toward exact, solution of the system of two usual Lotka-Volterra differential equations. Given solution is obtained by an iterative method. In any finite approximation order of this…
A general form for the equation of motion for higher-curvature gravity is obtained. The interesting feature of the analysis is that it can handle Lagrangians which contain non-minimal kinetic scalar couplings. Certain subtle features, which…
The 2x2 monodromy matrices for the Kowalewski top on the Lie algebras e(3), so(4) and so(3,1) are presented. The corresponding quadratic R-matrix structure is the dynamical deformation of the standard R-matrix algebras. Some tops and Toda…
The aim of this text is to provide an elementary and self-contained exposition of Gromov's argument on topological overlap (the presentation is based on Gromov's work, as well as two follow-up papers of Matousek and Wagner, and of…
The aim of this short paper is to show that some assumptions in [10] can be relaxed and even dropped when looking for weak solutions instead of strong ones. This improvement is a consequence of two results concerning gradient terms: an…
The purpose of this short note is to collect a set of formulas pertaining to momentum kinematics for higher spin light-front vertices. At least one of the formulas seems to be previously unknown.
Understanding natural relative motion trajectories is critical to enable fuel-efficient multi-satellite missions operating in complex environments. This paper studies the problem of computing and efficiently parameterizing satellite…
We present a general approach for the formulation of equations of motion for compact objects in general relativistic theories. The particle is assumed to be moving in a geometric background which in turn is asymptotically flat. Our approach…
We attempt to see how closely we can formally obtain the planetary and light path equations of General Relativity by employing certain operations on the familiar Newtonian equation. This article is intended neither as an alternative to nor…
We give an elementary derivation of the Montgomery phase formula for the motion of an Euler top, using only basic facts about the Euler equation and parallel transport on the 2-sphere (whose holonomy is seen to be responsible for the…
This article has a twofold purpose. On the one hand I would like to draw attention to some nice exercises on the Kepler laws, due to Otto Laporte from 1970. Our discussion here has a more geometric flavour than the original analytic…
For a system of partial differential equations that has an extended Kovalevskaya form, a reduction procedure is presented that allows one to use a local (point, contact, or higher) symmetry of a system and a symmetry-invariant conservation…
Numerical methods that approximate the solution of the Vlasov-Poisson equation by a low-rank representation have been considered recently. These methods can be extremely effective from a computational point of view, but contrary to most…
This is an English translation and digitisation of Sophie Kowalevski's (also know as Sofya Kovalevskaya) paper on what is now known as the Kovalevskaya Top. The original paper was written in French and published in Vol 12 of Acta…
We present a method for the solution of polynomial equations. We do not intend to present one more method among several others, because today there are many excellent methods. Our main aim is educational. Here we attempt to present a method…
