Gravitational Field as a Pressure Force from Logarithmic Lagrangians and Non-Standard Hamiltonians:The Case of Stellar Halo of Milky Way

Recently,the notion of non-standard Lagrangians was discussed widely in literature in an attempt to explore the inverse variational problem of nonlinear differential equations.Different forms of non-standard Lagrangians were introduced in literature and have revealed nice mathematical and physical properties.One interesting form related to the inverse variational problem is the logarithmic Lagrangian,which has a number of motivating features related to the Li′enard-type and Emden nonlinear differential equations.Such types of Lagrangians lead to nonlinear dynamics based on non-standard Hamiltonians.In this communication,we show that some new dynamical properties are obtained in stellar dynamics if standard Lagrangians are replaced by Logarithmic Lagrangians and their corresponding non-standard Hamiltonians.One interesting consequence concerns the emergence of an extra pressure term,which is related to the gravitational field suggesting that gravitation may act as a pressure in a strong gravitational field.The case of the stellar halo of the Milky Way is considered.     

On the Equivalence of Euler-Lagrange and Noether Equations

We prove that, under the condition of nontriviality, the Euler-Lagrange and Noether equations are equivalent for a general class of scalar variational problems. Examples are position independent Lagrangians, Lagrangians of p-Laplacian type, and Lagrangians leading to nonlinear Poisson equations. As applications we prove certain propositions concerning the nonlinear Poisson equation and its generalisations, and the equivalence of admissible and inner variations for the systems under consideration.     

Separability of completely integrable dynamical systems admitting alternative Lagrangian descriptions

It is shown that whenever a (1, 1)-type tensor field, defined through two alternative Lagrangians, implies complete integrability for a second-order Lagrangian vector field Γ on the tangent bundle of a given configuration manifold, then a bundle atlas can be found in which both Γ and a class of equivalent Lagrangians are completely separated into a sum of second-order vector fields and Lagrangians, each one corresponding to a single degree of freedom.     

Tensor Lagrangians,Lagrangians Equivalent to the Hamilton-Jacobi Equation and Relativistic Dynamics

We deal with Lagrangians which are not the standard scalar ones. We present a short review of tensor Lagrangians, which generate massless free fields and the Dirac field, as well as vector and pseudovector Lagrangians for the electric and magnetic fields of Maxwell’s equations with sources. We introduce and analyse Lagrangians which are equivalent to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and recast them to relativistic equations.     

Classification of first-order Lagrangians on the line

Noether symmetry and conserved quantity for dynamical system with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales

This paper focuses on studying the Noether symmetry and the conserved quantity with non-standard Lagrangians,namely exponential Lagrangians and power-law Lagrangians on time scales. Firstly, for each case, the Hamilton principle based on the action with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales is established, with which the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equation is given. Secondly, according to the invariance of the Hamilton action under the infinitesimal transformation, the Noether theorem for the dynamical system with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales is established.The proof of the theorem consists of two steps. First, it is proved under the infinitesimal transformations of a special one-parameter group without transforming time. Second, utilizing the technique of time-re-parameterization, the Noether theorem in a general form is obtained. The Noether-type conserved quantities with non-standard Lagrangians in both classical and discrete cases are given. Finally, an example in Friedmann–Robertson–Walker spacetime and an example about second order Duffing equation are given to illustrate the application of the results.     

AN OLD METHOD OF JACOBI TO FIND LAGRANGIANS

In a recent paper by Ibragimov a method was presented in order to find Lagrangians of certain second-order ordinary differential equations admitting a two-dimensional Lie symmetry algebra. We present a method devised by Jacobi which enables one to derive (many) Lagrangians of any second-order differential equation. The method is based on the search of the Jacobi Last Multipliers for the equations. We exemplify the simplicity and elegance of Jacobi's method by applying it to the same two equations as Ibragimov did. We show that the Lagrangians obtained by Ibragimov are particular cases of some of the many Lagrangians that can be obtained by Jacobi's method.     

Reduction of Higher Derivative Lagrangians

Perturbative higher time-derivative N-body Lagrangians are treated. By the aid of the redefinition of position variables the higher derivatives are reduced to ordinary derivatives directly on the Lagrangian level. This method clarifies the meaning of using equations and/or constants of motion in higher derivative terms in perturbative Lagrangians.
