Trapping phenomena involving nonlinear resonances have been considered in the past in the framework of adiabatic theory. Several results are known for continuous-time dynamical systems generated by Hamiltonian flows in which the combined effect of nonlinea ...
We study differential equations that lead to extremal points in symplectic pseudospectra. In a two-level approach, where on the inner level we compute extremizers of the symplectic epsilon-pseudospectrum for a given epsilon and on the outer level we optimi ...
In [GT], Goldin and Tolman extend some ideas from Schubert calculus to the more general setting of Hamiltonian torus actions on compact symplectic manifolds with isolated fixed points. (See also [Kn99,Kn08].) The main goal of this paper is to build on this ...
Let Q denote a smooth manifold acted upon smoothly by a Lie group G. The G-action lifts to an action on the total space TQ of the cotangent bundle of Q and hence on the standard symplectic Poisson algebra of smooth functions on TQ. The Poisson algebra of ...
In a region D in R-2 or R-3, the classical Euler equation for the regular motion of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of constant density is given by partial derivative(t)v + (v . del(x))v = -del(xP), div(x)v = 0, where v(t, x) is the velocity of the pa ...
Let n > 2 be even; r >= 1 be an integer; 0 < alpha < 1; Omega be a bounded, connected, smooth, open set in R-n; and nu be its exterior unit normal. Let f, g is an element of C-r,C-alpha((Omega) over bar; Lambda(2)) be two symplectic forms (i.e., closed and ...
The theory of discrete variational mechanics has its roots in the optimal control literature of the 1960's. The past ten years have seen a major development of discrete variational mechanics and corresponding numerical integrators, due largely to pioneerin ...
The goal of this paper is to derive the Hamiltonian structure of polarized and magnetized Euler-Maxwell fluids by reduction of the canonical symplectic form on phase space, and to generalize the dynamics to the nonabelian case. The Hamiltonian function we ...
The equations of motion are derived for the dynamical folding of charged molecular strands (such as DNA) modeled as flexible continuous filamentary distributions of interacting rigid charge conformations. The new feature is that these equations are nonloca ...
Strongly torsion generated groups are those with a single normal generator, of arbitrary finite order. They are useful for realizing sequences of abelian groups as homology groups. Known examples include stable alternating groups and stable groups generate ...
