We deliver a novel approach towards the variational description of Lagrangian mechanical systems subject to fractional damping by establishing a restricted Hamilton's principle. Fractional damping is a particular instance of non-local (in…
A methodology on making the variational principle well-posed in degenerate systems is constructed. In the systems including higher-order time derivative terms being compatible with Newtonian dynamics, we show that a set of position…
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 variational method is used to derive a self-consistent macro-particle model for relativistic electromagnetic kinetic plasma simulations. Extending earlier work [E. G. Evstatiev and B. A. Shadwick, J. Comput. Phys., vol. 245, pp. 376-398,…
In this paper we study a Hamiltonization procedure for mechanical systems with velocity-depending (nonholonomic) constraints. We first rewrite the nonholonomic equations of motion as Euler-Lagrange equations, with a Lagrangian that follows…
In the framework of Lagrangian formulation, some q-deformed physical systems are considered. The q-deformed Legendre transformation is obtained for the free motion of a non-relativistic particle on a quantum line. This is subsequently…
Hamiltonian variational principles provided, since 60s, the means of developing very successful wave theories for nonlinear free-surface flows, under the assumption of irrotationality. This success, in conjunction with the recognition that…
The study of stochastic variational principles involves the problem of constructing fixed-endpoint and adapted variations of semimartingales. We provide a detailed construction of variations of semimartingales that are not only fixed at…
Some intrinsic tools from the formal theory of variational equations are being demonstrated at work in application to one concrete example of the third-order evolution equation of free relativistic top in three-dimensional space-time. The…
Stable estimation of rigid body pose and velocities from noisy measurements, without any knowledge of the dynamics model, is treated using the Lagrange-d'Alembert principle from variational mechanics. With body-fixed optical and inertial…
We have developed a new formulation to obtain self-gravitating, axisymmetric configurations in permanent rotation. The formulation is based on the Lagrangian variational principle, and treats not only barotropic but also baroclinic…
In this work, we consider optimal control problems for mechanical systems on vector spaces with fixed initial and free final state and a quadratic Lagrange term. Specifically, the dynamics is described by a second order ODE containing an…
The variational principle and the corresponding differential equation for geodesic circles in two dimensional (pseudo)-Riemannian space are being discovered. The relationship with the physical notion of uniformly accelerated relativistic…
In this article one introduces a formalism of classical mechanics where complex Lagrangian functions are admitted. The results include complex versions of the Lagrangian function, of the Euler-Lagrange equation, of the Hamilton principle, a…
We derive both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics as gauge theories of Newtonian mechanics. Systematic development of the distinct symmetries of dynamics and measurement suggest that gauge theory may be motivated as a reconciliation of…
The Lagrangian, the Hamiltonian and the constant of motion of the gravitational attraction of two bodies when one of them has variable mass is considered. This is done by choosing the reference system in one of the bodies which allows to…
The Lagrangian formulation of classical mechanics is widely applicable in solving a vast array of physics problems encountered in the undergraduate and graduate physics curriculum. Unfortunately, many treatments of the topic lack…
It is well known that the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian descriptions of field theories are equivalent at the discrete time level when variational integrators are used. Besides the symplectic Hamiltonian structure, many physical systems exhibit…
We introduce the concept of Hamiltonian potential variables to map Hamiltonian operators into symplectic operators in a dual space. This generalises the classical trick of switching to a potential variable to obtain a Lagrangian density for…
The Eulerian variational formulation of the gyrokinetic system with electrostatic turbulence is presented in general spatial coordinates by extending our previous work [H. Sugama, {\it et al}., Phys.\ Plasmas {\bf 25}, 102506 (2018)]. The…
