In this paper, we prove a splitting formula for the Maslov-type indices of symplectic paths induced by the splitting of the nullity in weak symplectic Hilbert space. Then we give a direct proof of iteration formulae for the Maslov-type…

We show that, when applied to any non-canonical Hamiltonian system, any integrator that is symplectic for canonical Hamiltonian problems is actually conjugate symplectic for the non-canonical structure. This result is useful because it…

The main purpose of this paper is to give a topological and symplectic classification of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems in terms of characteristic classes and other local and global invariants.

We introduce the iteration theory for periodic billiard trajectories in a compact and convex domain of the Euclidean space, and we apply it to establish a multiplicity result for non-iterated trajectories.

We show that symplectic Runge-Kutta methods provide effective symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian systems with index one constraints. These include the Hamiltonian description of variational problems subject to position and velocity…

In this paper, we will define the index pair $(i_A(B),\nu_A(B))$ by the dual variational method, and show the relationship between the indices defined by different methods. As applications, we apply the index $(i_A(B),\nu_A(B))$ to study…

We propose a topological theory of the Maslov index for lagrangian and symplectic paths based on a minimal system of axioms. We recover, as particular cases, the Hoermander and the Robbin-Salomon indices.

We follow up on our previous works which presented a possible approach for deriving symplectic schemes for a certain class of highly oscillatory Hamiltonian systems. The approach considers the Hamilton-Jacobi form of the equations of…

We investigate the use of piecewise linear systems, whose coefficient matrix is a piecewise constant function of the solution itself. Such systems arise, for example, from the numerical solution of linear complementarity problems and in the…
