A geometric approach to contact Hamiltonians and contact Hamilton–Jacobi theory

K Grabowska, J Grabowski - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a novel approach to contact Hamiltonian mechanics which, in contrast to the
one dominating in the literature, serves also for non-trivial contact structures. In this …

Contact dynamics: Legendrian and Lagrangian submanifolds

O Esen, M Lainz Valcázar, M de León, JC Marrero - Mathematics, 2021 - mdpi.com
We are proposing Tulczyjew's triple for contact dynamics. The most important ingredients of
the triple, namely symplectic diffeomorphisms, special symplectic manifolds, and Morse …

Contact geometric mechanics: the Tulczyjew triples

K Grabowska, J Grabowski - arxiv preprint arxiv:2209.03154, 2022 - arxiv.org
We propose a generalization of the classical Tulczyjew triple as a geometric tool in
Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalisms which serves for contact manifolds. The role of the …

[HTML][HTML] Linear duals of graded bundles and higher analogues of (Lie) algebroids

AJ Bruce, K Grabowska, J Grabowski - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2016 - Elsevier
Graded bundles are a class of graded manifolds which represent a natural generalisation of
vector bundles and include the higher order tangent bundles as canonical examples. We …

Covariant Hamiltonian field theories on manifolds with boundary: Yang-Mills theories

A Ibort, A Spivak - arxiv preprint arxiv:1506.00338, 2015 - arxiv.org
The multisymplectic formalism of field theories developed by many mathematicians over the
last fifty years is extended in this work to deal with manifolds that have boundaries. In …

The Tulczyjew triple in mechanics on a Lie group

M Zając, K Grabowska - arxiv preprint arxiv:1602.02600, 2016 - arxiv.org
Tulczyjew triple for physical systems with configuration manifold equipped with Lie group
structure is constructed and discussed. The case of systems invariant with respect to group …

A new multisymplectic unified formalism for second-order classical field theories

PD Prieto-Martínez, N Román-Roy - arxiv preprint arxiv:1402.4087, 2014 - arxiv.org
We present a new multisymplectic framework for second-order classical field theories which
is based on an extension of the unified Lagrangian-Hamiltonian formalism to these kinds of …

Higher order mechanics on graded bundles

AJ Bruce, K Grabowska… - Journal of Physics A …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we develop a geometric approach to higher order mechanics on graded
bundles in both, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, via the recently discovered …

[PDF][PDF] Contact hamiltonian systems

ML Valcázar - 2022 - icmat.es
Contact Hamiltonian systems are a generalization of the Hamiltonian systems of classical
mechanics. The action is added as an extra variable in phase space, and symplectic …

Second-order constrained variational problems on Lie algebroids: applications to optimal control

L Colombo - arxiv preprint arxiv:1701.04772, 2017 - arxiv.org
The aim of this work is to study, from an intrinsic and geometric point of view, second-order
constrained variational problems on Lie algebroids, that is, optimization problems defined by …
