We develop a method, based on Darboux' and Liouville's works, to find first integrals and/or invariant manifolds for a physically relevant class of dynamical systems, without making any assumption on these elements' form. We apply it to…
This paper proves the following: A volume preserving vector field on a compact 3-manifold whose dual 2-form is exact can not generate uniquely ergodic dynamics unless its asymptotic linking number is zero.
We give a possible extension for shears and overshears in the case of two non commutative (quaternionic) variables in relation with the associated vector fields and flows. We present a possible definition of volume preserving automorphisms,…
We introduce a unified framework for the construction of convolutions and product formulas associated with a general class of regular and singular Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems. Our approach is based on the application of the…
Liouville field theory is considered on domains with conformally invariant boundary conditions. We present an explicit expression for the three point function of boundary fields in terms of the fusion coefficients which determine the…
We prove the following dichotomy for vector fields in a C1-residual subset of volume-preserving flows: for Lebesgue almost every point all Lyapunov exponents equal to zero or its orbit has a dominated splitting. As a consequence if we have…
We seek to establish qualitative convergence results to a general class of evolution PDEs described by gradient flows in optimal transportation distances. These qualitative convergence results come from dynamical systems under the general…
An effective form of the Variation Evolving Method (VEM), which originates from the continuous-time dynamics stability theory, is developed for the classic time-optimal control problem with control constraint. Within the mathematic…
The variational principle for a thin dust shell in General Relativity is constructed. The principle is compatible with the boundary-value problem of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations, and leads to ``natural boundary conditions'' on…
We present a new class of high-order variational integrators on Lie groups. We show that these integrators are symplectic, momentum preserving, and can be constructed to be of arbitrarily high-order, or can be made to converge…
We present a generalization of the variational principle that is compatible with any Hamiltonian eigenstate that can be specified uniquely by a list of properties. This variational principle appears to be compatible with a wide range of…
Nonconservative evolution problems describe irreversible processes and dissipative effects in a broad variety of phenomena. Such problems are often characterised by a conservative part, which can be modelled as a Hamiltonian term, and a…
A coordinate-free proof of the Maximum Principle is provided in the specific case of an optimal control problem with fixed time. Our treatment heavily relies on a special notion of variation of curves that consist of a concatenation of…
We consider a singular Liouville equation on a compact surface, arising from the study of Chern-Simons vortices in a self dual regime. Using new improved versions of the Moser-Trudinger inequalities (whose main feature is to be scaling…
We have established a coherent framework for applying variational methods to partial differential equations on hypergraphs, which includes the propositions of calculus and function spaces on hypergraphs. Several results related to the…
In the present paper, we define the concept of a \( q \)-cosymplectic manifold, on which we study the Hamiltonian, gradient, local gradient, and \( q \)-evolution vector fields. Several Liouville--Arnold-type theorems and a \( q…
Causal variational principles, which are the analytic core of the physical theory of causal fermion systems, are found to have an underlying Hamiltonian structure, giving a formulation of the dynamics in terms of physical fields in…
We briefly introduce the conception on Euler-Lagrange cohomology groups on a symplectic manifold $(\mathcal{M}^{2n}, \omega)$ and systematically present the general form of volume-preserving equations on the manifold from the cohomological…
We develop a "metrically selfdual" variational calculus for $c$-monotone vector fields between general manifolds $X$ and $Y$, where $c$ is a coupling on $X\times Y$. Remarkably, many of the key properties of classical monotone operators…
Numerical methods that preserve geometric invariants of the system, such as energy, momentum or the symplectic form, are called geometric integrators. Variational integrators are an important class of geometric integrators. The general idea…
