The calculus of variations on jet bundles as a universal approach for a variational formulation of fundamental physical theories
As widely accepted, justified by the historical developments of physics, the background for standard formulation of postulates of physical theories leading to equations of motion, or even the form of equations of motion themselves, come from empirical experience. Equations of motion are then a starting point for obtaining specific conservation laws, as, for example, the well-known conservation laws of momenta and mechanical energy in mechanics. On the other hand, there are numerous examples of physical...
The canonical structure of the supersymmetric non-linear σ model in the constrained hamiltonian formalism
The car with trailers : characterisation of the singular configurations
The car with N Trailers : characterization of the singular configurations
In this paper we study the problem of the car with N trailers. It was proved in previous works ([9], [12]) that when each trailer is perpendicular with the previous one the degree of nonholonomy is Fn+3 (the (n+3)-th term of the Fibonacci's sequence) and that when no two consecutive trailers are perpendicular this degree is n+2. We compute here by induction the degree of non holonomy in every state and obtain a partition of the singular set by this degree of non-holonomy. We give also for...
The complex geometry of an integrable system
In this paper, a finite dimensional algebraic completely integrable system is considered. We show that the intersection of levels of integrals completes into an abelian surface (a two dimensional complex algebraic torus) of polarization and that the flow of the system can be linearized on it.
The continuous Coupled Cluster formulation for the electronic Schrödinger equation
Nowadays, the Coupled Cluster (CC) method is the probably most widely used high precision method for the solution of the main equation of electronic structure calculation, the stationary electronic Schrödinger equation. Traditionally, the equations of CC are formulated as a nonlinear approximation of a Galerkin solution of the electronic Schrödinger equation, i.e. within a given discrete subspace. Unfortunately, this concept prohibits the direct application of concepts of nonlinear numerical analysis...
The coupled problem of a solid oscillating in a viscous fluid under the action of an elastic force.
The degenerate C. Neumann system I: symmetry reduction and convexity
The C. Neumann system describes a particle on the sphere S n under the influence of a potential that is a quadratic form. We study the case that the quadratic form has ℓ +1 distinct eigenvalues with multiplicity. Each group of m σ equal eigenvalues gives rise to an O(m σ)-symmetry in configuration space. The combined symmetry group G is a direct product of ℓ + 1 such factors, and its cotangent lift has an Ad*-equivariant momentum mapping. Regular reduction leads to the Rosochatius system on S ℓ,...

The dynamics of a levitated cylindrical permanent magnet above a superconductor.
When a permanent magnet is released above a superconductor, it is levitated. This is due to the Meissner-effect, i.e. the repulsion of external magnetic fields within the superconductor. In experiments, an interesting behavior of the levitated magnet can be observed: it might start to oscillate with increasing amplitude and some magnets even reach a continuous rotation. In this paper we develop a mathematical model for this effect and identify by analytical methods as well with finite element simulations...
The dynamics of the drum mower blade
The drum mower blade is freely rotatable around the fastening pin. During the operation of the mower, the centrifugal force and the resistance of the mowing material act on it. The presented article studies the effect of these forces on the behavior of the blade, in particular its oscillation around the steady state, depending on the properties of the cut material.
The equivalence between the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations for the parametrization-invariant theories.
The equivalence of controlled lagrangian and controlled hamiltonian systems
The purpose of this paper is to show that the method of controlled lagrangians and its hamiltonian counterpart (based on the notion of passivity) are equivalent under rather general hypotheses. We study the particular case of simple mechanical control systems (where the underlying lagrangian is kinetic minus potential energy) subject to controls and external forces in some detail. The equivalence makes use of almost Poisson structures (Poisson brackets that may fail to satisfy the Jacobi identity)...

The existence of limit cycle for perturbed bilinear systems
In this paper, the feedback control for a class of bilinear control systems with a small parameter is proposed to guarantee the existence of limit cycle. We use the perturbation method of seeking in approximate solution as a finite Taylor expansion of the exact solution. This perturbation method is to exploit the “smallness” of the perturbation parameter to construct an approximate periodic solution. Furthermore, some simulation results are given to illustrate the existence of a limit cycle for...
