The geometric intrinsic approach to Hojman symmetry is developed and use is made of the theory of the Jacobi last multipliers to find the corresponding conserved quantity for non divergence-free vector fields. The particular cases of…
The Riccati equation method is used to establish an oscillatory and a non oscillatory criteria for nonhomogeneous linear systems of two first-order ordinary differential equations. It is shown that the obtained oscillatory criterion is a…
We formulate higher order variations of a Lagrangian in the geometric framework of jet prolongations of fibered manifolds. Our formalism applies to Lagrangians which depend on an arbitrary number of independent and dependent variables,…
This paper studies sparse nonlinear least squares problems, where the Jacobian matrices are unavailable or expensive to compute, yet have some underlying sparse structures. We construct the Jacobian models by the $ \ell_1 $ minimization…
In addition to standard and non-standard Lagrangians of classical mechanics, we consider, in this work, null Lagrangians that (i) identically satisfy the Euler-Lagrange equation and at the same time can be expressed as (ii) the total…
A new method to find first integrals of nonlinear differential equations in Jacobi-type form is presented. The basic idea of our approach is to use one-parameter perturbed motions to find well-conceived nonlocal constants that are conserved…
We extend the Jacobi structure from $TQ\times \mathbb{R}$ and $T^{*}Q \times \mathbb{R}$ to $A\times \mathbb{R}$ and $A^{*}\times \mathbb{R}$, respectively, where $A$ is a Lie algebroid and $A^{*}$ carries the associated Poisson structure.…
The Riccati equation method is used to establish oscillation and non-oscillation criteria for second order linear nonhomogeneous functional-differential equations.We show that the obtained oscillation criterion is a generalization of J. S.…
Trivial second-order Lagrangians are studied and a complete description of the dependence on the second-order derivatives is given. This extends previous work of Olver and others. In particular, this description involves some polynomial…
Using a novel transformation involving the Jacobi Last Multiplier (JLM) we derive an old integrability criterion due to Chiellini for the Li\'enard equation. By combining the Chiellini condition for integrability and Jacobi's Last…
We demonstrate the fact that linearity is a meaningful symmetry in the sense of Lie and Noether. The role played by that `linearity symmetry' in the quadrature of linear ordinary second-order differential equations is reviewed, by the use…
We use a recently found method to characterise all the invertible fourth-order difference equations linear in the extremal values based on the existence of a discrete Lagrangian. We also give some result on the integrability properties of…
In this paper we have chosen to work with two different approaches to solving the inverse problem of the calculus of variation. The first approach is based on an integral representation of the Lagrangian function that uses the first…
We develop relative oscillation theory for Jacobi matrices which, rather than counting the number of eigenvalues of one single matrix, counts the difference between the number of eigenvalues of two different matrices. This is done by…
The Riccati equation method is used for study the behavior of solutions of the systems of two linear first order ordinary differential equations. All types of oscillation and regularity of these system are revealed. A generalization of…
We investigate the connection between the linear harmonic oscillator equation and some classes of second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations of Li\'enard and generalized Li\'enard type, which physically describe important…
We study a class of weakly coupled Hamilton-Jacobi systems with a specific aim to perform a qualitative analysis in the spirit of weak KAM theory. Our main achievement is the definition of a family of related action functionals containing…
The Riccati equation method and an approach of the use of unknown factors is used to establish oscillation, suboscillation and nonoscillation criteria for linear systems of ordinary differential equations. A necessary condition for Lyapunov…
This paper is devoted to discrete mechanical systems subject to external forces. We introduce a discrete version of systems with Rayleigh-type forces, obtain the equations of motion and characterize the equivalence for these systems.…
The Riccati equation method is used to establish some oscillatory criteria for the second order linear functional - differential equations of multiple terms with locally integrable coefficients. An interval oscillation criterion for the…
