On a generalization of Helmholtz conditions

Radka Malíková (2009)

Acta Mathematica Universitatis Ostraviensis

Similarity:

Helmholtz conditions in the calculus of variations are necessary and sufficient conditions for a system of differential equations to be variational ‘as it stands’. It is known that this property geometrically means that the dynamical form representing the equations can be completed to a closed form. We study an analogous property for differential forms of degree 3, so-called Helmholtz-type forms in mechanics ( n = 1 ), and obtain a generalization of Helmholtz conditions to this case. ...

Second variational derivative of local variational problems and conservation laws

Marcella Palese, Ekkehart Winterroth, E. Garrone (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We consider cohomology defined by a system of local Lagrangian and investigate under which conditions the variational Lie derivative of associated local currents is a system of conserved currents. The answer to such a question involves Jacobi equations for the local system. Furthermore, we recall that it was shown by Krupka et al. that the invariance of a closed Helmholtz form of a dynamical form is equivalent with local variationality of the Lie derivative of the dynamical form; we...

On the invariant variational sequences in mechanics

Šeděnková, Jana

Similarity:

Summary: The r -th order variational sequence is the quotient sequence of the De Rham sequence on the r th jet prolongation of a fibered manifold, factored through its contact subsequence.In this paper, the first order variational sequence on a fibered manifold with one-dimensional base is considered. A new representation of all quotient spaces as some spaces of (global) forms is given. The factorization procedure is based on a modification of the interior Euler operator, used in the theory...
