We analyze the dynamical equations obeyed by a classical system with position-dependent mass. It is shown that there is a non-conservative force quadratic in the velocity associated to the variable mass. We construct the Lagrangian and the…
Shapere and Wilczek ( Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 160402 and 200402 (2012)) have recently described certain singular Lagrangian systems which display spontaneous breaking of time translation symmetry. We begin by considering the standard Lienard…
Foliate systems are those which preserve some (possibly singular) foliation of phase space, such as systems with integrals, systems with continuous symmetries, and skew product systems. We study numerical integrators which also preserve the…

We present examples of Lax-integrable multi-dimensional systems of partial differential equations with higher local symmetries. We also consider Lagrangian deformations of these equations and construct variational bivectors on them.
Symplectic schemes are powerful methods for numerically integrating Hamiltonian systems, and their long-term accuracy and fidelity have been proved both theoretically and numerically. However direct applications of standard symplectic…
Geometric numerical integration has recently been exploited to design symplectic accelerated optimization algorithms by simulating the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems from the variational framework introduced in Wibisono et al. In this…
In this paper we develop new techniques for revealing geometrical structures in phase space that are valid for aperiodically time dependent dynamical systems, which we refer to as Lagrangian descriptors. These quantities are based on the…
