Generalized Conley-Zehnder index

Jean Gutt (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

The Conley-Zehnder index associates an integer to any continuous path of symplectic matrices starting from the identity and ending at a matrix which does not admit 1 as an eigenvalue. Robbin and Salamon define a generalization of the Conley-Zehnder index for any continuous path of symplectic matrices; this generalization is half integer valued. It is based on a Maslov-type index that they define for a continuous path of Lagrangians in a symplectic vector space ( W , Ω ¯ ) , having chosen a given reference...

Generalized PN manifolds and separation of variables

Fernand Pelletier, Patrick Cabau (2008)

Banach Center Publications

The notion of generalized PN manifold is a framework which allows one to get properties of first integrals of the associated bihamiltonian system: conditions of existence of a bi-abelian subalgebra obtained from the momentum map and characterization of such an algebra linked with the problem of separation of variables.

Geometric integrators for piecewise smooth Hamiltonian systems

Philippe Chartier, Erwan Faou (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we consider C1,1 Hamiltonian systems. We prove the existence of a first derivative of the flow with respect to initial values and show that it satisfies the symplecticity condition almost everywhere in the phase-space. In a second step, we present a geometric integrator for such systems (called the SDH method) based on B-splines interpolation and a splitting method introduced by McLachlan and Quispel [Appl. Numer. Math. 45 (2003) 411–418], and we prove it is convergent, and that...
