Comment by the editors on the paper : “The hamiltonian formalism in higher order variational problems”
A relationship between jacobian maps and the commutativity properties of suitable couples of hamiltonian vector fields is studied. A theorem by Meisters and Olech is extended to the nonpolynomial case. A property implying the Jacobian Conjecture in ℝ² is described.
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the integrability of one type of multisymplectic 3-forms on a 6-dimensional manifold.
This paper is based mainly on the joint paper with W. Kryszewski [Dzedzej, Z., Kryszewski, W.: Conley type index applied to Hamiltonian inclusions. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 347 (2008), 96–112.], where cohomological Conley type index for multivalued flows has been applied to prove the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions for asymptotically linear Hamiltonian inclusions. Some proofs and additional remarks concerning definition of the index and special cases are given.
We generalize to higher dimension results of Birkhoff and Mather on the existence of orbits wandering in regions of instability of twist maps. This generalization is strongly inspired by the one proposed by Mather. However, its advantage is that it contains most of the results of Birkhoff and Mather on twist maps.
For the first time in dimension 9, the Goursat distributions are not locally smoothly classified by their small growth vector at a point. As shown in [M1], in dimension 9 of the underlying manifold 93 different local behaviours are possible and four irregular pairs of them have coinciding small growth vectors. In the present paper we distinguish geometrically objects in three of those pairs. Smooth functions in three variables - contact hamiltonians in the terminology of Arnold, [A] - help to do...
