A new geometrical framework for time-dependent Hamiltonian mechanics.
For symmetric classical field theories on principal bundles there are two methods of symmetry reduction: covariant and dynamic. Assume that the classical field theory is given by a symmetric covariant Lagrangian density defined on the first jet bundle of a principal bundle. It is shown that covariant and dynamic reduction lead to equivalent equations of motion. This is achieved by constructing a new Lagrangian defined on an infinite dimensional space which turns out to be gauge group invariant.
We obtain an algebraic interpretation by means of the Picard-Vessiot theory of a result by Ziglin about the self-intersection of complex separatrices of time-periodically perturbed one-degree of freedom complex analytical Hamiltonian systems.
In this work we will be concerned with the existence of almost homoclinic solutions for a Newtonian system , where t ∈ ℝ, q ∈ ℝⁿ. It is assumed that a potential V: ℝ × ℝⁿ → ℝ is C¹-smooth and its gradient map is bounded with respect to t. Moreover, a forcing term f: ℝ → ℝⁿ is continuous, bounded and square integrable. We will show that the approximative scheme due to J. Janczewska (see [J2]) for a time periodic potential extends to our case.
We consider dynamical systems on a separable metric space containing at least two points. It is proved that weak topological mixing implies generic chaos, but the converse is false. As an application, some results of Piórek are simply reproved.
In this paper we derive a sequence from a movement of center of~mass of arbitrary two planets in some solar system, where the planets circle on concentric circles in a same plane. A trajectory of center of mass of the planets is discussed. A sequence of points on the trajectory is chosen. Distances of the points to the origin are calculated and a distribution function of a sequence of the distances is found.
We consider a problem of maximization of the distance traveled by a material point in the presence of a nonlinear friction under a bounded thrust and fuel expenditure. Using the maximum principle we obtain the form of optimal control and establish conditions under which it contains a singular subarc. This problem seems to be the simplest one having a mechanical sense in which singular subarcs appear in a nontrivial way.
