Noether symmetries of discrete nonholonomic dynamical systems

In this letter, we investigate Noether symmetries and conservation laws of discrete dynamical systems on an uniform lattice with the nonholonomic constraints. Based on the quasi-invariance of discrete Hamiltonian action of the systems under the infinitesimal transformation with respect to the time and generalized coordinates, we give the discrete analogue of generalized variational formula of the systems. From this formula we derive the discrete analogue of generalized Noether-type identity, and then we present the generalized quasi-extremal equations of the systems. We also obtain the discrete analogue of Noether theorems and the discrete analogue of Noether conservation laws of the systems. Finally, an example is discussed to illustrate these results.     

Hamilton-Jacobi theory for Hamiltonian systems with non-canonical symplectic structures

A proposal for the Hamilton-Jacobi theory in the context of the covariant formulation of Hamiltonian systems is done. The current approach consists in applying Dirac’s method to the corresponding action which implies the inclusion of second-class constraints in the formalism which are handled using the procedure of Rothe and Scholtz recently reported. The current method is applied to the non-relativistic two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator employing the various symplectic structures for this dynamical system recently reported.     

Acceleration-extended Newton-Hooke symmetry and its dynamical realization

Newton-Hooke group is the nonrelativistic limit of de Sitter (anti-de Sitter) group, which can be enlarged with transformations that describe constant acceleration. We consider a higher order Lagrangian that is quasi-invariant under the acceleration-extended Newton-Hooke symmetry, and obtain the Schrödinger equation quantizing the Hamiltonian corresponding to its first order form. We show that the Schrödinger equation is invariant under the acceleration-extended Newton-Hooke transformations. We also discuss briefly the exotic conformal Newton-Hooke symmetry in 2+1 dimensions.     

Jourdain Principle of a Super-Thin Elastic Rod Dynamics

A super thin elastic rod is modeled with a background of DNA super coiling structure, and its dynamics is discussed based on the Jourdain variation. The cross section of the rod is taken as the object of this study and two velocity spaces about are coordinate and the time are obtained respectively. Virtual displacements of the section on the two velocity spaces are defined and can be expressed in terms of Jourdain variation. JourdMn principles of a super thin elastic rod dynamics on arc coordinate and the time velocity space are established, respectively, which show that there are two ways to realize the constraint conditions. If the constitutive relation of the rod is linear, the Jourdain principle takes the Euler-Lagrange form with generalized coordinates. The Kirchhoff equation, Lagrange equation and Appell equation can be derived from the present Jourdain principle. While the rod subjected to a surface constraint, Lagrange equation with undetermined multipliers may be derived.     

Stationary response of multi-degree-of-freedom vibro-impact systems to Poisson white noises

The stationary response of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) vibro-impact (VI) systems to random pulse trains is studied. The system is formulated as a stochastically excited and dissipated Hamiltonian system. The constraints are modeled as non-linear springs according to the Hertz contact law. The random pulse trains are modeled as Poisson white noises. The approximate stationary probability density function (PDF) for the response of MDOF dissipated Hamiltonian systems to Poisson white noises is obtained by solving the fourth-order generalized Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (FPK) equation using perturbation approach. As examples, two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) VI systems under external and parametric Poisson white noise excitations, respectively, are investigated. The validity of the proposed approach is confirmed by using the results obtained from Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown that the non-Gaussian behaviour depends on the product of the mean arrival rate of the impulses and the relaxation time of the oscillator.

Examples are given and include novel Poisson formulations.     

Perturbation to Mei Symmetry and Generalized Mei Adiabatic Invariants for Nonholonomic Systems in Terms of Quasi-Coordinates

Numerical studies on boundary effects on the FPU paradox

We study numerically the dynamics of a chain of particles subjected to an on site restoring nonlinear force and a first neighbor harmonic coupling. We excite the first linear mode and investigate the distribution of the average harmonic energies at metastable regime, in the spirit of Fermi Pasta Ulam experiment. The limit distribution turns out to strongly depend on the boundary conditions. A theoretical discussion of the phenomenon is also given.     

Diffusion paths in resonantly driven Hamiltonian systems

A diffusive Hamiltonian flow triggered by a resonant drive is confined to a phase subspace determined by the resonance structure. The diffusion path is found for an arbitrary, possibly nonstationary discrete system by applying generalized Manley-Rowe relations to an extended Hamiltonian.     

Quantum behavior of deterministic systems with information loss: Path integral approach

’t Hooft’s derivation of quantum from classical physics is analyzed by means of the classical path integral of Gozzi et al. It is shown how the key element of this procedure—the loss of information constraint—can be implemented by means of Faddeev–Jackiw’s treatment of constrained systems. It is argued that the emergent quantum systems are identical with systems obtained in Blasone et al. [Phys. Rev. A 71 (2005) 052507] through Dirac–Bergmann’s analysis. We illustrate our approach with two simple examples—free particle and linear harmonic oscillator. Potential Liouville anomalies are shown to be absent.     

Conservation Laws for Partially Conservative Variable Mass Systems via d＇Alembert＇s Principle

Conservation laws for partially conservative variable mass dynamical systems under symmetric infinitesimal transformations are determined. A generalization of Lagrange-d ＇Alembert＇s principle for a variable mass system in terms of asynchronous virtual variation is presented. The generalized Killing equations are obtained such that their solution yields the transformations and the associated conservation laws. An example illusstrative of the theory is furnished at the end as well.     

Variational principle and energy-momentum tensor for relativistic electrodynamics of point charges

We give a new representation as tempered distribution for the energy-momentum tensor of a system of charged point-particles, which is free from divergent self-interactions, manifestly Lorentz-invariant and symmetric, and conserved. We present a covariant action for this system, that gives rise to the known Lorentz-Dirac equations for the particles and entails, via Noether theorem, this energy-momentum tensor. Our action is obtained from the standard action for classical electrodynamics, by means of a new Lorentz-invariant regularization procedure, followed by a renormalization. The method introduced here extends naturally to charged p-branes and arbitrary dimensions.     

Non-integrability of the Anisotropic Stormer Problem and the Isosceles Three-Body Problem

We study the Anisotropic Stormer Problem (ASP) and the Isosceles Three-Body Problem (IP), from the viewpoint of integrability, using Morales-Ramis theory and its generalization. The study of their integrability presents particular interest since they model important physical phenomena. Both problems can be reduced with respect to the S¹ symmetry. Almeida and Stuchi [M.A. Almeida, T.J. Stuchi, Non-integrability of the anisotropic Stormer problem with angular momentum, Physica D 189 (2004) 219-233] proved that the reduced ASP is non-integrable for almost all values of the parameters. In this paper we establish the non-integrability (in the extended Liouville sense) of the remaining cases. The IP is a special case of the three-body problem and it can be considered as a generalization of the Sitnikov problem. Here we prove that the complexified reduced IP does not admit an additional independent meromorphic first integral.

Secondly, a coordination function is introduced, and the conditions of existence of generalized Mei conserved quantity as well as the forms are proposed. Lastly, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Euler-Lagrange equation from nonlocal-in-time kinetic energy of nonconservative system

This Letter focuses on studying generalized Euler-Lagrange equation and Hamiltonian framework from nonlocal-in-time kinetic energy of nonconservative system. According to Suykens' approach, we extend his results and formulate some work related to the nonconservative system. With the Lagrangian and nonconservative force in nonlocal-in-time form, we obtain the higher order generalized Euler-Lagrange equation which leads to an extension of Newton's second law of motion. The Hamiltonian is studied in relation to the Lagrangian in the canonical phase space. Finally, the particle with nonconservative force case is studied and compared with quantum mechanical results. The extended equation gives a possible approach for understanding the connection between classical and quantum mechanics.     

Lie Symmetrical Perturbation and Adiabatic Invariants of Generalized Hojman Type for Disturbed Nonholonomic Systems

For a nonholonomic mechanics system with the action of small disturbance, the Lie symmetrical perturbation and adiabatic invariants of generalized Hojman type are studied under general infinitesimal transformations of groups in which the generalized coordinates and time are variable. On the basis of the invariance of disturbed nonholonomic dynamical equations under general infinitesimal transformations, the determining equations, the constrained restriction equations and the additional restriction equations of Lie symmetries of the system are constructed, which only depend on the variables t, qs and q^.s. Based on the definition of higher-order adiabatic invariants of a mechanical system, the perturbation of Lie symmetries for a nonholonomic system with the action of small disturbance is investigated, and the Lie symmetrical adiabatic invariants, the weakly Lie symmetrical adiabatic invariants and the strongly Lie symmetrical adiabatic invariants of generalized Hojman type of disturbed nonholonomic systems are obtained. An example is given to illustrate applications of the results.
