A generalization of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory to arbitrary dynamical systems, including non-Hamiltonian ones, is considered. The generalized Hamilton-Jacobi theory is constructed as a theory of ensemble of identical systems moving in the…

The first part of this article develops a variational formulation for relativistic mechanics. The results are established through standard tools of variational analysis and differential geometry. The novelty here is that the main motion…

The Jacobi equation for geodesic deviation describes finite size effects due to the gravitational tidal forces. In this paper we show how one can integrate the Jacobi equation in any spacetime admitting completely integrable geodesics.…

Taking advantage of the flexibility of the variational method with coordinate transformations, we derive a self-consistent set of equations of motion from a discretized Lagrangian to study kinetic plasmas using a Fourier decomposed…

The dynamics of some non-conservative and dissipative systems can be derived by calculating the first variation of an action-dependent action, according to the variational principle of Herglotz. This is directly analogous to the variational…

This paper investigates the dynamics of nonholonomic mechanical systems, focusing on fundamental variational assumptions and the role of the transpositional rule. We analyze how the Cetaev condition and the first variation of constraints…

A fractional Hamiltonian formalism is introduced for the recent combined fractional calculus of variations. The Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation is generalized to be applicable for systems containing combined Caputo fractional…

We show that the Navier-Stokes as well as a random perturbation of this equation can be derived from a stochastic variational principle where the pressure is introduced as a Lagrange multiplier. Moreover we describe how to obtain…

A variational proof is provided of the existence and uniqueness of evolutions of regular Lagrangian systems.

The paper investigates a systematic approach to modeling in nonequilibrium thermodynamics by focusing upon the notion of interconnections, where we propose a novel Lagrangian variational formulation of such interconnected systems by…

In this paper a mathematically precise global (i.e. not the usual local) approach is presented to the variational principles of general relativistic classical field theories. Problems of the classic (usual) approaches are also discussed in…

A powerful mathematical method for the investigation of the properties of dynamical systems is represented by the Kosambi-Cartan-Chern (KCC) theory. In this approach the time evolution of a dynamical system is described in geometric terms,…

We perform the study of the stability of the Lorenz system by using the Jacobi stability analysis, or the Kosambi-Cartan-Chern (KCC) theory. The Lorenz model plays an important role for understanding hydrodynamic instabilities and the…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a measure to be the spectral measure of a finite range or exponentially decaying perturbation of a periodic Jacobi operator. As a corollary we can fully solve the inverse resonance…

We develop the equations of motion for full body models that describe the dynamics of rigid bodies, acting under their mutual gravity. The equations are derived using a variational approach where variations are defined on the Lie group of…

This paper introduces an algorithmic approach to the analysis of Jacobi stability of systems of second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via the Kosambi--Cartan--Chern (KCC) theory. We develop an efficient symbolic program using…

Hydrodynamic equations for a one-component plasma are derived as a generalization of the Euler equations to include the effects of the long-range Coulomb interaction. By using a variational principle, these equations self-consistently unify…

The geometric formulation of Hamilton--Jacobi theory for systems with nonholonomic constraints is developed, following the ideas of the authors in previous papers. The relation between the solutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi problem with the…

The geometric formulation of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory enables us to generalize it to systems of higher-order ordinary differential equations. In this work we introduce the unified Lagrangian-Hamiltonian formalism for the geometric…

This paper discusses some of the modal involvements of analytical mechanics. I first review the elementary aspects of the Lagrangian, Hamiltonian and Hamilton-Jacobi approaches. I then discuss two modal involvements; both are related to…
