Normal modes of a lagrangian system constrained in a potential well
Parallel replica dynamics is a method for accelerating the computation of processes characterized by a sequence of infrequent events. In this work, the processes are governed by the overdamped Langevin equation. Such processes spend much of their time about the minima of the underlying potential, occasionally transitioning into different basins of attraction. The essential idea of parallel replica dynamics is that the exit distribution from a given well for a single process can be approximated by...
Flow of particles suspended in a fluid can be found in numerous industrial processes utilizing sedimentation, fluidization and lubricated transport such as food processing, catalytic processing, slurries, coating, paper manufacturing, particle injection molding and filter operation. The ability to understand rheology effects of particulate flows is elementary for the design, operation and efficiency of the underlying processes. Despite the fact that particle technology is widely used, it is still...
We give some deformations of the Rikitake two-disk dynamo system. Particularly, we consider an integrable deformation of an integrable version of the Rikitake system. The deformed system is a three-dimensional Hamilton-Poisson system. We present two Lie-Poisson structures and also symplectic realizations. Furthermore, we give a prequantization result of one of the Poisson manifold. We study the stability of the equilibrium states and we prove the existence of periodic orbits. We analyze some properties...
Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33; 70H03, 70H25, 70S05; 49S05We treat the fractional order differential equation that contains the left and right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. Such equations arise as the Euler-Lagrange equation in variational principles with fractional derivatives. We reduce the problem to a Fredholm integral equation and construct a solution in the space of continuous functions. Two competing approaches in formulating differential equations of fractional order...
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 (), and obtain a generalization of Helmholtz conditions to this case.
