Working with a general class of linear Hamiltonian systems with at least one singular boundary condition, we show that renormalized oscillation results can be obtained in a natural way through consideration of the Maslov index associated…

For many applications, critical information about system dynamics is encoded in associated eigenvalue problems that can be posed as linear Hamiltonian systems with suitable boundary conditions. Motivated by examples from hydrodynamics,…

In recent work, Baird et al. have generalized the definition of the Maslov index to paths of Grassmannian subspaces that are not necessarily contained in the Lagrangian Grassmannian [T. J. Baird, P. Cornwell, G. Cox, C. Jones, and R.…

We extend a result on renormalized oscillation theory, originally derived for Sturm-Liouville and Dirac-type operators on arbitrary intervals in the context of scalar coefficients, to the case of general Hamiltonian systems with block…

Working with a general class of linear Hamiltonian systems specified on $\mathbb{R}$, we develop a framework for relating the Maslov index to the number of eigenvalues the systems have on intervals of the form $[\lambda_1, \lambda_2)$ and…

In this paper we present the theory of oscillation numbers and dual oscillation numbers for continuous Lagrangian paths in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. Our main results include a connection of the oscillation numbers of the given Lagrangian path with…

In recent work, Baird et al. have introduced a generalized Maslov index which allows oscillation techniques that have previously been restricted to eigenvalue problems with underlying Hamiltonian structure to be extended to the…

Morse index theory provides an elegant and useful tool for describing several aspects of a Lagrangian system in terms of its variational properties. In the classical framework it provides an equality between the spectral properties of a…

We extend the definition of the Maslov index to a broad class of non-Hamiltonian dynamical systems. To do this, we introduce a family of topological spaces--which we call Maslov-Arnold spaces--that share key topological features with the…

We show that for Sturm-Liouville Systems on the half-line $[0,\infty)$, the Morse index can be expressed in terms of the Maslov index and an additional term associated with the boundary conditions at $x = 0$. Relations are given both for…

We use the Maslov index to study the spectrum of a class of linear Hamiltonian differential operators. We provide a lower bound on the number of positive real eigenvalues, which includes a contribution to the Maslov index from a non-regular…

We consider a planar Hamiltonian system of the type $Jz' = \nabla_z H(t,z)$, where $H: \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ is a function periodic in the time variable, such that $\nabla_z H(t,0) \equiv 0$ and $\nabla_z H(t,z)$ is…

The canonical quantum Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem for an anharmonic oscillator with a Lagrangian L = \dot{\phi}^2/2 - m^2 \phi^2/2 - g m^3 \phi^4 is numerically solved in two ways. One of the ways uses a plain cutoff on the number of…

In this paper we find that the asymptotic nonlinear Maslov index defined on the universal cover of the group of all contact Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the standard 2n-1 dimensional contact sphere is a quasimorphism. Then we show our…

We use the properties of the Leray index to give precise formulas in arbitrary dimensions for the Maslov index of the monodromy matrix arising in periodic Hamiltonian systems. We compare our index with other indices appearing in the…

Hamiltonian systems with linearly dependent constraints (irregular systems), are classified according to their behavior in the vicinity of the constraint surface. For these systems, the standard Dirac procedure is not directly applicable.…

We use the Riccati equation method with other ones to establish new oscillation and interval oscillation criteria for linear matrix Hamiltonian systems. We investigate the oscillation problem for linear matrix Hamiltonian systems in a new…

Classical Sturm non-oscillation and comparison theorems as well as the Sturm theorem on zeros for solutions of second order differential equations have a natural symplectic version, since they describe the rotation of a line in the phase…

A Hamiltonian renormalization group is presented. Such a formulation is relevant for chiralic systems and more appropriate than the Lagrangian formalism. An application to 1D system is presented.

When solitary waves are characterized as homoclinic orbits of a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian system, they have an integer-valued topological invariant, the Maslov index. We are interested in developing a robust numerical algorithm to…
