In questo lavoro si ricavano: 1) l'equazione d'onda linearizzata, 2) la formulazione Lagrangiana, 3) la formulazione Hamiltoniana, nella teoria della propagazione ondosa in un fluido comprimibile descritto dalle equazioni della magnetofluidodinamica ideale in presenza di corrente Hall.
We consider the classical three-dimensional motion in a potential which is the sum of attracting or repelling Coulombic potentials. Assuming a non-collinear configuration of the centres, we find a universal behaviour for all energies above a positive threshold. Whereas for there are no bounded orbits, and for there is just one closed orbit, for the bounded orbits form a Cantor set. We analyze the symbolic dynamics and estimate Hausdorff dimension and topological entropy of this hyperbolic set....
We consider a planar autonomous Hamiltonian system :q+∇V(q) = 0, where the potential V: ℝ2 {ζ→ ℝ has a single well of infinite depth at some point ζ and a strict global maximum 0at two distinct points a and b. Under a strong force condition around the singularity ζ we will prove a lemma on the existence and multiplicity of heteroclinic and homoclinic orbits - the shadowing chain lemma - via minimization of action integrals and using simple geometrical arguments.
The Routh reduction of cyclic variables in the Lagrange function and the Jacobi-Maupertuis principle of constant energy systems are generalized. The article deals with one-dimensional variational integral subject to differential constraints, the Lagrange variational problem, that admits the Lie group of symmetries. Reduction to the orbit space is investigated in the absolute sense relieved of all accidental structures. In particular, the widest possible coordinate-free approach to the underdetermined...
Some open problems appearing in the primary article on the symmetry reduction are solved. A new and quite simple coordinate-free definition of Poincaré-Cartan forms and the substance of divergence symmetries (quasisymmetries) are clarified. The unbeliavable uniqueness and therefore the global existence of Poincaré-Cartan forms without any uncertain multipliers for the Lagrange variational problems are worth extra mentioning.
