Given a Lagrangian system with non-holonomic constraints we construct an almost product structure on the tangent bundle of the configuration manifold such that the projection of the Euler-Lagrange vector field gives the dynamics of the system. In a degenerate case, we develop a constraint algorithm which determines a final constraint submanifold where a completely consistent dynamics of the initial system exists.

Given a finite additive abelian group $G$ and an integer $k$, with $3\le k\le \left|G\right|$, denote by ${𝒟}_k\left(G\right)$ the simple incidence structure whose point-set is $G$ and whose blocks are the $k$-subsets $C=\{c_1,c_2,\cdots ,c_k\}$ of $G$ such that $c_1+c_2+\cdots +c_k=0$. It is known (see [Caggegi, A., Di Bartolo, A., Falcone, G.: Boolean 2-designs and the embedding of a 2-design in a group arxiv 0806.3433v2, (2008), 1–8.]) that ${𝒟}_k\left(G\right)$ is a 2-design, if $G$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group with $p$ a prime divisor of $k$. From [Caggegi, A., Falcone, G., Pavone, M.: On the additivity of block...

We propose a suitable formulation of the Hamiltonian formalism for Field Theory in terms of Hamiltonian connections and multisymplectic forms where a composite fibered bundle, involving a line bundle, plays the role of an extended configuration bundle. This new approach can be interpreted as a suitable generalization to Field Theory of the homogeneous formalism for Hamiltonian Mechanics. As an example of application, we obtain the expression of a formal energy for a parametrized version of the Hilbert–Einstein...

We show that the classical solution of the heat equation can be seen as the minimizer of a suitable functional defined in space-time. Using similar ideas, we introduce a functional $ℱ$ on the class of space-time tracks of moving hypersurfaces, and we study suitable minimization problems related with $ℱ$. We show some connections between minimizers of $ℱ$ and mean curvature flow.

Si considerano due spazi $S_{\mu }$ e $S_{\nu }^{\ast }$, Riemanniani e a metrica eventualmente indefinita, riferiti a sistemi di co-ordinate $\mathrm{\varnothing }$ e ${\mathrm{\varnothing }}_{\nu }^{\ast }$; e inoltre un doppio tensore $T_{\mathrm{\cdots }}^{\mathrm{\cdots }}$ associato ai punti ${\mathrm{\varnothing }}^{-1}(x)\in S_{\mu }$ e ${\mathrm{\varnothing }}^{\ast -1}(y)\in S^{\ast }$. Si pensa $T_{\mathrm{\cdots }}^{\mathrm{\cdots }}$ dato da una funzione ${\tilde{T}}_{\mathrm{\cdots }}^{\mathrm{\cdots }}$ di $m$ altri tali doppi tensori e di variabili puntuali $x(\in {\mathrm{\Re }}^{\mu })$, $t\in \mathrm{\Re }$ e $y(\in {\mathrm{\Re }}^{\nu })$; poi si considera la funzione composta $${\widehat{T}}_{\mathrm{\cdots }}^{\mathrm{\cdots }}(x,t,y)={\tilde{T}}_{\mathrm{\cdots }}^{\mathrm{\cdots }}[\underset{1,\mathrm{\dots },m}{\underbrace{{\breve{H}}_{\mathrm{\cdots }}^{\mathrm{\cdots }}(x,t,y),\mathrm{\dots },{\breve{H}}_{\mathrm{\cdots }}^{\mathrm{\cdots }}(x,t,y)}},x,t,y].$$ Nella Parte I si scrivono due regole per eseguire la derivazione totale di questa, connessa con una mappa $\widehat{ℰ}$
