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...

The calculus of variations on jet bundles as a universal approach for a variational formulation of fundamental physical theories

Jana Musilová, Stanislav Hronek (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

As widely accepted, justified by the historical developments of physics, the background for standard formulation of postulates of physical theories leading to equations of motion, or even the form of equations of motion themselves, come from empirical experience. Equations of motion are then a starting point for obtaining specific conservation laws, as, for example, the well-known conservation laws of momenta and mechanical energy in mechanics. On the other hand, there are numerous examples...

Symmetries in finite order variational sequences

Mauro Francaviglia, Marcella Palese, Raffaele Vitolo (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We refer to Krupka’s variational sequence, i.e. the quotient of the de Rham sequence on a finite order jet space with respect to a ‘variationally trivial’ subsequence. Among the morphisms of the variational sequence there are the Euler-Lagrange operator and the Helmholtz operator. In this note we show that the Lie derivative operator passes to the quotient in the variational sequence. Then we define the variational Lie derivative as an operator on the sheaves of the variational sequence....

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...

Variational principles and symmetries on fibered multisymplectic manifolds

Jordi Gaset, Pedro D. Prieto-Martínez, Narciso Román-Roy (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

The standard techniques of variational calculus are geometrically stated in the ambient of fiber bundles endowed with a (pre)multisymplectic structure. Then, for the corresponding variational equations, conserved quantities (or, what is equivalent, conservation laws), symmetries, Cartan (Noether) symmetries, gauge symmetries and different versions of Noether's theorem are studied in this ambient. In this way, this constitutes a general geometric framework for all these topics that includes,...
