We propose definitions of homogeneity and projective equivalence for systems of ordinary differential equations of order greater than two, which allow us to generalize the concept of a spray (for systems of order two). We show that the…

We look at the the possibility of a spray having a Hamiltonian description considering Dirac structure as underlying geometric structure. In a simpler scenario, we consider almost Dirac structure as an auxiliary object to find constants of…

We consider the scattering of elastic waves by highly oscillating anisotropic periodic media with bounded support. Applying the two-scale homogenization, we first obtain a constant coefficient second-order partial differential elliptic…

This paper studies spherically symmetric sprays, i.e., sprays that are invariant under orthogonal transformations. We first establish a canonical form for such sprays, showing that their geodesic coefficients can be expressed as \(G^i =…

The exactness equation for Lepage 2-forms, associated with variational systems of ordinary differential equations on smooth manifolds, is analyzed with the aim to construct a concrete global variational principle. It is shown that locally…

Applications of variational methods are typically restricted to conservative systems. Some extensions to dissipative systems have been reported too but require ad hoc techniques such as the artificial doubling of the dynamical variables.…

Variational inequalities are an important mathematical tool for modelling free boundary problems that arise in different application areas. Due to the intricate nonsmooth structure of the resulting models, their analysis and optimization is…

The paper investigates solutions of the fractional hyperbolic diffusion equation in its most general form with two fractional derivatives of distinct orders. The solutions are given as spatial-temporal homogeneous and isotropic random…

Adopting the global approach to tangent bundles of order two established in[1], we develop this approach to find new results. We also generalize various results of [3], [4] and [6] to the geometry of tangent bundles of order two.

We study a second order scheme for spatial fractional differential equations with variable coefficients. Previous results mainly concentrate on equations with diffusion coefficients that are proportional to each other. In this paper, by…

This paper considers a family of second-order periodic parabolic equations with highly oscillating potentials, which have been considered many times for the time-varying potentials in stochastic homogenization. Following a standard…

In this paper, we study the left invariant spray geometry on a connected Lie group. Using the technique of invariant frames, we find the ordinary differential equations on the Lie algebra describing for a left invariant spray structure the…

We study the long time behavior (homogenization) of a diffusion in random medium with time and space dependent coefficients. The diffusion coefficient may degenerate. In Stochastic Process. Appl. (2007) (to appear), an invariance principle…

In this paper, we study the homogenization of the distribution-dependent stochastic abstract fluid models by combining the $two\!-\!scale$ convergence and martingale representative approach. A general framework of the homogenization…

The paper deals with homogenization of divergence form second order parabolic operators whose coefficients are periodic in spatial variables and random stationary in time. Under proper mixing assumptions, we study the limit behaviour of the…

In this paper we investigate a class of natural Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. The kinetic energy depends on coordinates but the system is homogeneous. Thanks to this property it admits, in a general case, a particular…

Roughly speaking, holonomic measures are parametric varifolds without boundary. They provide a setting appropriate for the analysis of many variational problems. In this paper, we characterize the space of variations for these objects, and…

We prove the invariance of homogeneous second-order Hamiltonian operators under the action of projective reciprocal transformations. We establish a correspondence between such operators in dimension $n$ and $3$-forms in dimension $n + 1$.…

Two systems are homometric if they are indistinguishable by diffraction. We first make a distinction between Bragg and diffuse scattering homometry, and show that in the last case, coherent diffraction can allow the diffraction diagrams to…

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,…
