We formulate a geometric measurement theory of dynamical classical systems possessing both continuous and discrete degrees of freedom. The approach is covariant with respect to choices of clocks and canonically incorporates laboratories.…
We develop a discrete-time version of the blended dynamics theorem for the use of designing distributed computation algorithms. The blended dynamics theorem enables to predict the behavior of heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Therefore,…

The hypothesis of a discrete fabric of the universe--the "Planck scale"--is always on stage, since it solves mathematical and conceptual problems in the infinitely small. However, it clashes with special relativity, which is designed for…
A methodology for defining variational principles for a class of PDE models from continuum mechanics is demonstrated, and some of its features explored. The scheme is applied to quasi-static and dynamic models of rate-independent and…

We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
We introduce calculus-based formulas for the continuous Euler and homotopy operators. The 1D continuous homotopy operator automates integration by parts on the jet space. Its 3D generalization allows one to invert the total divergence…

We propose a new scheme for the long time approximation of a diffusion when the drift vector field is not globally Lipschitz. Under this assumption, regular explicit Euler scheme --with constant or decreasing step-- may explode and implicit…
We provide a fully nonlinear port-Hamiltonian formulation for discrete elastodynamical systems as well as a structure-preserving time discretization. The governing equations are obtained in a variational manner and represent index-1…
We develop and analyze an asynchronous algorithm for distributed convex optimization when the objective writes a sum of smooth functions, local to each worker, and a non-smooth function. Unlike many existing methods, our distributed…
We present a structure-preserving discretization of the hybrid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)-driftkinetic system for simulations of low-frequency wave-particle interactions. The model equations are derived from a variational principle,…

Closed-loop neurotechnology requires the capability to predict the state evolution and its regulation under (possibly) partial measurements. There is evidence that neurophysiological dynamics can be modeled by fractional-order dynamical…
The usual explicit finite-difference method of solving partial differential equations is limited in stability because it approximates the exact amplification factor by power-series. By adapting the same exponential-splitting method of…
A notion of implicit difference equation on a Lie groupoid is introduced and an algorithm for extracting the integrable part (backward or/and forward) is formulated. As an application, we prove that discrete Lagrangian dynamics on a Lie…
We investigate the automatic differentiation of hybrid models, viz. models that may contain delays, logical tests and discontinuities or loops. We consider differentiation with respect to parameters, initial conditions or the time. We…
It is shown that discrete-time quantum walks can be used to digitize, i.e., to time discretize fermionic models of continuous-time lattice gauge theory. The resulting discrete-time dynamics is thus not only manifestly unitary, but also…
We define a kinetic and a potential energy such that the principle of stationary action from Lagrangian mechanics yields a Camassa--Holm system (2CH) as the governing equations. After discretizing these energies, we use the same variational…
