On a generalization of Helmholtz conditions

Radka Malíková (2009)

Acta Mathematica Universitatis Ostraviensis

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.

On the Darboux transformation. II.

Veronika Chrastinová (1995)

Archivum Mathematicum

Automorphisms of the family of all Sturm-Liouville equations y ' ' = q y are investigated. The classical Darboux transformation arises as a particular case of a general result.

On the notion of potential for mappings between linear spaces. A generalized version of the Poincaré lemma

Tullio Valent (2003)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

An approach to the theory of linear differential forms in a radial subset of an (arbitrary) real linear space X without a Banach structure is proposed. Only intrinsic (partially linear) topologies on X are (implicitly) involved in the definitions and statements. Then a mapping F : U X Y , with X , Y real linear spaces and U a radial subset of X , is considered. After showing a representation theorem of those bilinear forms , on X × Y for which x , y = 0 ...
