This classic work is now available in an unabridged paperback edition. Stoker makes this
fertile branch of mathematics accessible to the nonspecialist by the use of three different …

John Hornstein has written about the author's theorem on nonintegrability of geodesic flows
on closed surfaces of genus greater than one:" Here is an example of how differential …

For about two centuries (1700 to 1900) physicists recognized only one dynamical theory 1.
Now three theories exist, of which the third may be subdivided:(i) Newtonian dynamics.(ii) …

It is shown that the chaoticity hypothesis recently introduced in statistical mechanics, which
is analogous to Ruelle's principle for turbulence, implies the Onsager reciprocity and the …

A Lagrangian is degenerate when the Hessian matrix whose elements consist of all the
second‐order derivatives of the Lagrangian with respect to the generalized velocities has …

This work presents a complete formulation of the representationand parameterization of
frame motion as a tool to derive, in aconvenient form, the kinematic and dynamic governing …

The chaotic hypothesis discussed in Gallavotti and Cohen (1995) is tested experimentally in
a simple conduction model. Besides a confirmation of the hypothesis predictions the results …

The paper explains the appropriate use of Hamilton's Weak Principle (HWP) in the
developement of consistent and efficient approximations for the determination of the …
