In this paper we address the problem of identifying contracting systems among dynamical systems appearing in mechanics. First, we introduce a sufficient condition to identify contracting systems in a general Riemannian manifold. Then, we…
New symmetry transformations for the n-dimensional Toda lattice are presented. Their existence allows for the construction of several first order Lagrangian structures associated to them. The multi-Hamiltonian structures are derived from…
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…
We apply Dirac's Hamiltonian approach to study the canonical structure of the teleparallel form of general relativity without matter fields. It is shown, without any gauge fixing, that the Hamiltonian has the generalized Dirac-ADM form, and…
The recently developed method (Paper 1) enabling one to investigate the evolution of dynamical systems with an accuracy not dependent on time is developed further. The classes of dynamical systems which can be studied by that method are…
The Lie-Hamilton approach for $t$-dependent Hamiltonians is extended to cover the so-called nonlinear Lie-Hamilton systems, which are no longer related to a linear $t$-dependent combination of a basis of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra of…
We resurrect a standard construction of analytical mechanics dating from the last century. The technique allows one to pass from any dynamical system whose first order evolution equations are known, and whose bracket algebra is not…
In this paper a method of controlling nonholonomic systems within the port-Hamiltonian (pH) framework is presented. It is well known that nonholonomic systems can be represented as pH systems without Lagrange multipliers by considering a…
We show that all W-gravity actions can be easilly constructed and understood from the point of view of the Hamiltonian formalism for the constrained systems. This formalism also gives a method of constructing gauge invariant actions for…
In this paper, using the Hojman construction, we give examples of various Poisson brackets which differ from those which are usually analyzed in Hamiltonian mechanics. They possess a nonmaximal rank, and in the general case an invariant…
The constants of motion of the following systems are deduced: a relativistic particle with linear dissipation, a no-relativistic particle with a time explicitly depending force, a no-relativistic particle with a constant force and time…
We consider a class of Lagrangians that depend not only on some configurational variables and their first time derivatives, but also on second time derivatives, thereby leading to fourth-order evolution equations. The proposed higher-order…
We derive the dynamics of several rigid bodies of arbitrary shape in a 2-dimensional inviscid and incompressible fluid, whose vorticity field is given by point vortices. We adopt the idea of Vankerschaver et al. (2009) to derive the…
Reparametrization invariant Lagrangian theories with higher derivatives are considered. We investigate the geometric structures behind these theories and construct the Hamiltonian formalism in a geometric way. The Legendre transformation…
After reviewing the Lagrangian-Hamiltonian unified formalism (i.e, the Skinner-Rusk formalism) for higher-order (non-autonomous) dynamical systems, we state a unified geometrical version of the Variational Principles which allows us to…
A class of nonlinear problems on the plane, described by nonlinear inhomogeneous $\bar{\partial}$-equations, is considered. It is shown that the corresponding dynamics, generated by deformations of inhomogeneous terms (sources) is described…
Recently the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation for first order constrained systems has been developed. In such formalism the equations of motion are written as total differential equations in many variables. We generalize the Hamilton-Jacobi…
We present a new existence mechanism, based on symplectic topology, for orbits of Hamiltonian flows connecting a pair of disjoint subsets in the phase space. The method involves function theory on symplectic manifolds combined with rigidity…
We show the existence of a continuum of Hamiltonian structures for the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator. In particular, a continuum of Hamiltonian structures having noncommutative coordinates is presented. A study of the…
This study introduces standard Cliffordian Kaehler analogue of Hamiltonian mechanic systems. In the end, the some results related to standard Cliffordian Kaehler dynamical systems are also discussed.
