We develop a functional-analytical machinery for studying the quadratic regulator problem arising from spectra perturbations of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. In particular, we are interested in applications to inertial manifolds…

The dynamical systems invariant under gauge transformations with higher order time derivatives of the gauge parameter are considered from the Hamiltonian point of view. We investigate the consequences of the basic requirements that the…

Lagrangian multiforms provide a variational framework for describing integrable hierarchies. This thesis presents two approaches for systematically constructing Lagrangian one-forms, which cover the case of finite-dimensional integrable…

It is shown that linear time-dependent invariants for arbitrary multi\-dimensional quadratic systems can be obtained from the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation procedures by considering a variation of coordinates and momenta that…

The inverse problem of the calculus of variations consists in determining if the solutions of a given system of second order differential equations correspond with the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations for some regular Lagrangian.…

In this short note we show that any action for $N$ interacting particles can be made invariant under gauged Galilean transformations. While resulting Lagrangian is generally very complicated its Hamiltonian has simple form with first class…

The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between Hamiltonian dynamics and constrained variational calculus. We describe both using the notion of Lagrangian submanifolds of convenient symplectic manifolds and using the so-called…

Using Legendrian immersions and, in particular, Legendre curves in odd dimensional spheres and anti De Sitter spaces, we provide a method of construction of new examples of Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in complex projective…

We present a geometric algorithm for obtaining consistent solutions to systems of partial differential equations, mainly arising from singular covariant first-order classical field theories. This algorithm gives an intrinsic description of…

It is known that one can formulate an action in teleparallel gravity which is equivalent to general relativity, up to a boundary term. In this geometry we have vanishing curvature, and non-vanishing torsion. The action is constructed by…

An alternative version of Hamiltonian formalism for higher-derivative theories is presented. It is related to the standard Ostrogradski approach by a canonical transformation. The advantage of the approach presented is that the Lagrangian…

This paper focuses on the port-Hamiltonian formulation of systems described by partial differential equations. Based on a variational principle we derive the equations of motion as well as the boundary conditions in the well-known…

In this paper, we study the Lagrangian functions for a class of second-order differential systems arising from physics. For such systems, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Lagrangian functions. Based on the…

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…

Numerous tasks in imaging and vision can be formulated as variational problems over vector-valued maps. We approach the relaxation and convexification of such vectorial variational problems via a lifting to the space of currents. To that…

In this paper, we address the globalization problem of discrete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics in locally conformal framework.

In this paper, we describe a constrained Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism for the optimal control of nonholonomic mechanical systems. In particular, we aim to minimize a cost functional, given initial and final conditions where the…

Given a differential equation on a smooth fibre bundle Y, we consider its canonical vertical extension to that, called the deviation equation, on the vertical tangent bundle VY of Y. Its solutions are Jacobi fields treated in a very general…

A Finsler geometry may be understood as a homogeneous variational problem, where the Finsler function is the Lagrangian. The extremals in Finsler geometry are curves, but in more general variational problems we might consider extremal…

In this paper we show that a variational reduction procedure can be defined for Lagrangian systems subject to scaling symmetries (i.e. Lagrangian systems defined by a homogenous Lagrangian function), in such a way that the trajectories of…
